First, let me apologize for bumping up such an old thread! I did not want to create a new one as I know how irritating it is to rehash already discussed topics.
However, I have some specific questions regarding this thread and some other posts I saw around the site:
Why is it such a large issue if a PNM is married? I saw a lot of posts in a thread regarding a potential issue of a pregnant girl coming through that also reflected ideas concerning married girls and quite frankly, it bothered me. Young married women, without children, are entirely capable of contributing to a chapter successfully!
How should a PNM approach this issue during formal recruitment without sounding peculiar, too rehearsed, or being inappropriate?
How can a PNM offset any negativity associated with this apparent stigma?
Since this messageboard is comprised of members across the country, how does your region, campus, alma mater react to married PNMs? I am specifically interested in the south. I would reveal the state, but discretion is key and I do not want to run the risk of harming my recruitment chances.
I have already checked with my greek life office and there are no rules against it. I have also secured a recommendation to each house, have a high college GPA, involved with numerous activities, I have great hair
, and I am getting the impression that all of those things just won't matter because I'm married. I would like hearing some of your opinions and thoughts on the situation in general (since it has been awhile!) and maybe some advice regarding mine.
Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen.
