didn't you just start a thread about rushing with your circumstance at UT-Austin?

Don't choose your school based on the Greek system.

It's certainly different than UT. Not sure what you mean by "less strict." UNT is an entirely different campus, with an entirely different greek community - one that is about half the age of some of the groups at UT.

If by less strict you mean would getting into the chapter of your choice be a cake-walk, the answer is no.

Marginally, but not by much. And I wasn't trying to be rude, there's just a lot of ways to interpret a vague word such as 'strict' in that context.

I would venture this opinion (because that is what it is, an opinion): a married 21 year old PNM will have challenges regardless of where she attends school.

Have you researched the financial and time commitments that sorority membership requires?

making two separate threads asking about your chances at two different schools sure does make it seem like you're choosing your school based on your chances of joining a sorority, which as AZTheta suggested, you will have challenges no matter where you go because of your circumstances.

Does your husband know that you want to join a sorority? Is he okay with you attending socials in sexy/cute themed outfits ... the point of said social being to introduce opposite sexes to one another?

Are socials mandatory at either school?

And I do hope you've discussed this in depth with your husband, especially the financial aspect.

Even if socials are mandatory, going to a party where you dress in a goofy outfit and meet brothers of a fraternity does not mean you are going home with one of them. It can be as much of a fun evening with your sisters as anything else. If her husband didn't "permit" her to attend, I'd rethink the husband, not the sorority.

But in that neck of the woods, its probably all a moot point.
