He has a penis. Therefore, he is NOT a sorority member and should NOT be making such declarations about membership selection. He was not in meetings and has no idea why women go alum. It's none of his damn business.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Slippery Rock PA, but it used to be a "dry" town too, and it was named one of the top 10 Playboy party schools. Trust me, there will be alcohol at some point, unless it's a very very very superconservative church based school (i.e. BYU, Bob Jones U etc).
If Greek life at your school is very laid back and noncompetitive, and there is (as was mentioned before) a very large non-trad/returning contingent at the school, you MAY have a chance at a bid. But keep in mind that at such a school, every woman in a chapter usually has some sort of office or committee chair - you can't just sit back and be a member. And like kddani said, much of the real sorority bonding comes not from meetings or big events - but from little things like hanging out at someone's apartment or the student center. If you feel like you're going to have to call your husband every time you won't be home from class on time to hang out, you're going to lose a lot of the simple joy of sorority life.
If there is an adult or returning students group at your school, I advise you to join. Even if it doesn't strictly apply to you, you should be able to find some people who you can relate to. Oh, and if your friends are boring the crap out of you with baby talk...you need to make new friends. But you don't necessarily need a sorority to do that. You aren't going to be screwing them if you make new friends if they are so blind to the fact that when they talk about little Caleb's latest poop YOU REALLY DON'T CARE...in fact, if they're that child obsessed, I doubt they will notice.
