Unless the staff of your Greek life office are members of the chapters, they should NOT be making statements about any chapter's member selection policies.

im going to make an assumption, for my argument - if OP was born in 84 (as her username displays), and is going into junior year, im guessing she didn't start college at 18, but perhaps like 20/21? rush is pretty intimidating at 18, and i can't imagine as a 20/21 year old freshman, going through rush with mostly 18 year old freshmen is a cake walk. but im stating the obvious here.

My husband supports it 100% as long as it makes me happy.
It is not that I want to join Alpha Gamma Delta, and no one else, it was one that I did a bit of research on already so I just asked about it. I want to give all the sororities a chance, because I don't think it would be fair to judge before meeting them.
The man at the Greek Life office said he did some "research" after I asked him about being married. I should have clarified, he said 3 of the 4 ask current members to take alumnae status if they get married in college. So, he doesn't think they will extend a bid to someone who is already married (which makes sense).
You're right, I won't really mention my husband during recruitment unless of course someone outright asks about my being married.
Also, I'm afraid they will not like my being married or think I'm weird for going through recruitment, but I feel like this is something I will regret if I don't at least give it a shot.
Thanks again to everyone, and if you have anymore suggestions or comments, I would really appreciate them :-).

this may be private info, but is there a reason why married UG members are required to take early alum status? being married doesnt change your student status. does it have more relevance to chapters where all members live in the house (and perhaps, a married member may not live in)?
i understand transfer members taking early alum (if that chapter doesnt accept transfers) because they weren't initiated at that school's chapter, but a married member?
