"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

The military's policy vis-a-vis gays may work well in this situation and I agree with James -- I do not even think you should make the effort to find out which sororities prohibit collegiate initiation of married students...I think that you should just NOT volunteer up front that you are married. And then you should carefully consider volunteering that fact in subsequent rounds. If in the unlikely case that you are asked, then of course don't lie. By the time pref party day rolls around, you should feel comforatble at certain houses to perhaps drop tidbits in your conversation like "well when my hubby and I went to that restaurant...blah blah blah"
My personal experience with a similar situation is why I agree with James & the don't ask, don't tell policy: I was in ROTC at a university in very-liberal southern california in the early 70's; when I rushed, I did not volunteer the info that I was in ROTC upfront and no one asked....however, in one house, a girl rushing me asked a question that could have only been answered by admitting I was in ROTC, so I did...of course I was dropped the next day...
I think eventually, Panhel // Greek affairs offices will have a space on their rush application forms that ask about marital status...
