When I was in college, I knew an undergrad who was a mother and became an active sister of her sorority. Her mother raised her daughter at home while she was away at college. I had no idea that she was a mother until her family came to visit one weekend. The arrangement seemed to work for her and her mother and her daughter.
I agree with texasgirl's, AOTTsilver's and Munchkin's points about non-traditional students. I also can understand Bama_Alumna's point. There are some chapters at some schools where a mother will not receive a bid. There are also chapters where non-traditional students will play very active roles in their sororities. I think that sororities have evolved and will continue to evolve to reflect the changing times and trends.
