disasterscookie, I am sorry for the apparent hijack of this thread but would like to ask a question of the GCres out there ... If I had a disease, lets say flat feet, that might not allow me to participate fully in the chapter (can't live in the house and receive treatments at the same time), should I initiate a conversation about flat feet to complete strangers knowing full well that it might reduce chances of receieiving a bid? ... knowing that flat feet might not make me a poor candidate for membership but may reduce my capacity to participate or live in a house.
I think that there is a HUGE difference between lying and not initiating a personal conversation about yourself. Just as you wouldn't go to a job interview and initiate a conversation about your lack of transportation, don't intentionally tell others about the negatives. If you get the job you would just find a way to make it work (maybe the bus) just as with a sorority, if you receive a bid, you'll find a way to work it into your married life.
Also, my NPC offers alumna status to married undergrads because a married woman's priorities are generally different from an unmarried woman's but alumna status is the choice of the member and not the NPC.
