What priorities should be:

#1- THE CHILD. Children ain't easy, they require a lot of time, money, love, and nuturing.
#2- School. That's what you're there for.
#3- whatever else, i.e. sororities, clubs, etc

Sororities require A LOT of time (and money), no matter what area of the country you're in. Children require a lot of time (from their parents, NOT babysitters). School requires a lot of time.

Maybe it's just me, but as a parent I'm going to want to spend a lot of time with my kid.

I don't understand why someone would WANT to be involved in ANY ACTIVITY that would require them to spend so much time away from their child.

Yes, it's great to make friendships and stuff. But many of our parents weren't in sororities (or didn't even go to college!), and they have friends- they make them through playgroups, etc.

Guess i'm just from the school of though that children should be the number one priority in your life if you choose to have them...

I absolutely agree!
