The point I believe Discogoddess is trying to make...and to some degree...I agree is PLEDGING is NOT a priority..raising a child is...and the environment of sorority life in college is not exactly child care friendly.
No one should have to compromise taking care of their child over ANY Sorority activities. In grad, Sorors are more sensitive to family life. But hey, people ultimately will do what they want to do.
Whatever you decide good luck...and may God bless you.

No one is asking you to justify your choices or get defensive about them, but I believe the young lady who started the thread was seeking people's honest opinions. And honestly, I think that people should realize that joining a sorority is not a right, and no one deserves membership simply because they have met the requirements and/or overcome adversity, such as single parenthood. Membership must be extended by those already in the group, based on educational, community service, and character assessments. And like it or not, there are members in these groups who disagree with the notion that single, unwed mothers in undergraduate school should be focusing on attaining sorority membership. I must disagree with my sisters here and say that I think young mothers should direct their attention toward receiving their undergraduate degrees and raising their children before seeking sorority membership. AKA, DST, ZPhiB, and SGRho will all be there waiting for them once they graduate and establish themselves in their respective careers and communities.
