You might want to be sure that he is ok with not seeing his wife alot during those times.

While KSUviolet had events every night some weeks, we didn't. Yes, we had social events, and yes, we had meetings for new members, but never in one week were we doing things with the sorority every night. And with the alcohol/mixers situation.. the mixers at my school never got as crazy as others. Yes, there was drinking, but it wasn't to the extent that I've seen at mixers at other schools. Every chapter/school is different. We don't know where you go to school or how prominent Greek life actually is there. In my opinion, you should do all you can to find out how much will really be involved with this whole endeavor, how much time you're willing to put into it, and whether or not it will create issues between you and your husband.
But as I've said, if you believe it will work for you, and you think you'll always regret it and wonder, "What if?" if you don't at least try, I say go for it. Just be honest with the sorority members about your situation. Again, don't broadcast it or feel the need to talk about it constantly during recruitment, but if someone asks, don't lie about anything or try to dodge questions. Being married is part of who you are, and you shouldn't have to lie about that
