Especially if there are 50 other women you could bid in her place. I'm betting that for the guys, it's the same way.

I am an undergraduate. I think I should have phrased my response a little better.
Of course during selection proscesses one would not likely think "Ohhh yeah she has a child....we want her over everyone else", but if she exceeds the requirements versus a childless prospective member who is barely making it......I think the decision is kinda easy. I mentioned the newest addition to my chapter because she has came in and done a lot in addition to her having two kids, a job, and being a full-time student. Seeing how great she is; it would have been a shame if she had got overlooked for membership due to the fact of having children.
