Just don't bring it up unless asked. I spent years during recruitment as an undergrad and never once spoke about my boyfriend, now husband. Recruiters will almost guaranteed ask you about your hometown, major, etc. but I would guess that the vast majority are not going to ask you about your personal relationship with a significant other. Of course, don't lie if they do ask you about it but why offer up the information, especially if you are nervous about it?

A friend of mine was an active in an NPC sorority and was asked to take alumna status when she got married as a sophomore. She was so sad! I thought it was a national policy of her NPC, but perhaps it was just a local policy....? It's worth checking out that kind of thing. In a perfect world, the campus advisor the OP spoke to would have alerted her to a potential problem, but those campus advisors aren't always up to speed on every GLO policy. (The happy ending is that she wound up as a founding mother of a new OPA chapter on her campus.)

Even if there is no policy against a married woman holding active status, I agree with the OP that playing down this important lifelong commitment is essentially a lie of omission. To find the sisterhood relationship that is right for you, those potential sisters need to know the real you, including the joy you find in your marriage.
