I left the university I had been attending and started at community college. Now I am happier than I have ever been, have a beautiful one-year-old son, a loving fiance, and a perfect GPA to boot. I have really turned my life again and I am revisiting my old dream of going through sorority recruitment. I feel like I need sisterhood now more than ever, oftentimes I get cooped up in the house and all of my friends are away at college. I have working my hardest to get back into a University. I am 21 and have finally reached this goal. I plan on going through recruitment, and I had a few questions:
1. How much of this information should I disclose to the sisters during recruitment?
2. Do you know of any other Mothers who have gotten bids?
3. Is 21 "too old" to rush?
This has been a dream and a goal for me for years. I am so excited to finally be on the cusp of something I have wanted for so long. I feel that as a mother I can offer a whole new sense of diversity to whatever sorority accepts me. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

point of information: are you talking about NPC recruitment?
1. Honesty re: being a parent- very important. Do you truly think you will be able to balance the demands of parenthood with a relationship, academics, AND sorority membership? There have been other posters on GC who've expressed the same desire; I will try to locate those threads for you.
2. No I do not.
3. No, but it is not the same as getting a bid and becoming a member.
