I have a 2yr old child and am an active member of my sorority.
Granted my brother does live with me and he takes care of Mary-Kathryn when I have to go to meetings or have overnight bonding with my sisters.
It is hard, but my sisters knew before I became a pledge that I did have a child and that if my sorority started to cut into time with my child then I would choose to go on inactive status, which thank God I never had to do. The girls are very understanding about my situation and have engouraged me to take her to rush events, fundraising, and even community service events (like relay for life) that are not too overwhelming.
It can be done and my sorority would never turn a girl away from plegding just because she has a child.
