^^^^ This!


This topic comes up every year during formal recruitment because we always have a handful of non-traditional students who show interest. WE DO NOT DESCRIMINATE. Age is not an issue, having a child is not an issue, being married is not an issue. What is at issue is whether you can commit the time and the money to attending chapter events and being an active member of the sorority. Chapter is not a baby sitting service, your hubby can't attend initiation and there are dues and a badge to purchase.

It really does depend on the campus. That being said, I've not yet had the privilege to meet someone else in a similar situation as I was. I was 23, a navy vet, when I helped colonize AXiD on my campus, which at the time, only had 1 other sorority. Would a 23 year old navy vet have the same shot at joining my chapter today? Realistically, maybe, but probably not. The culture has changed. I'm thankful for the experience I had because I know it was unique.... There's NO WAY I could have ever become a member at a more competitive university. Not to mention that I was completely against the idea of joining a sorority and conforming to rules and structure after I had just finished doing that in the navy. That's why the colony appealed to me so much - I didn't have to follow someone else's rules and traditions - I got to help start them.


Benzgirl hit the nail on the head though.....

So, if being married is going to prevent you from being a committed member who can actually come to chapter events, then don't bother....
