I would like to echo the sentiment posted earlier. Our organizations were fought for by our founders. Our founders were often women who were ahead of their time by entering college when it was still a boys club. Again, women fought for the right to vote and be equal in the eyes of the law.
I do not think a chapter should be deciding for a woman if she can or cannot handle the membership requirements. Unless you carry her burden, you do not make her decisions.
I am suprised that so many college educated women are willing to discriminate based on someone's parental status. I do think women should be given every opportunity to do things. Would a fraternity discriminate against a man with a child. You know that answer is NO. So why do we? Do we honestly think that a woman who is choosing to raise a child cannot make this decision for herself?
If this was put to me, and I thought the woman would make a great sister by personality, presentation, academic excellence, etc I would give her a bid. It is not for me to decide FOR her. If she expressed interest, then the decision would be up to her.
