Question

Disogoddess,

What is the difference between pledging a sorority in undergrad vs. grad? Is grad less demanding? Also, what is your reasoning for your "young mothers should direct their attention toward receiving their undergraduate degrees and raising their children before seeking sorority membership" philosophy? Do you not think that we are capable of doing more than 2 things at once? I understand that it's hard to understand a situation when the situation is not yours, but I think that some of the difficulties in your life may not seem as difficult to you as it does to me.

This was going to school full time and working full time. I asked her how she did it as it seemed like a very difficult task. She simply replied, "Well, I have to ask you how you manage to work part time, go to school full time, and still take care of your son?" I've never looked at my many "hats" as difficult and she probably never thought about how difficult it was to work and go to school full time.

We should stop trying to tell others what is too difficult for them. I'm sure you are well aware of how much you can handle and it would be stupid of me to tell you, "You should not be taking 5 classes, you should focus on these 3 classes and take these 2 next semester." Do you understand what I'm getting at?
