I had a pledge sister who was a single mom. She had gotten married and divorced very early in life and went to college a little later than the rest of us did. She had the MOST ADORABLE 3 year old daughter! SHe never brought her to any chapter meetings, parties or rituals. She very much tried to keep both sides of her life seperate. In fact, there were times when we said, please brign your daughter to such xyz function, its at a park and she will have fun or we are all going bowling, we think your daughter will have a blast. THe mom (sister) ended up being an incredible active member and took on various leadership roles throughout her time in college.
Now 15 years later, the daughter pledged ZTA! I can tell you that many of us from our pledge class lived and breathed the daughter's recruitment until we received the call that she had received (and accepted) a bid. Here is the touch question... is it dirty rushing if the daughter was only 3 at the time?
So, yes, I do believe that Greek organizations can be open to having moms as traditional collegiate member is the college and/or chapter environment is accepting as well as the member being accepting of the college/chapter atmosphere. It is definitley a 2 way street!
