As MysticCat stated, there are different types of schools and different types of Greek systems. There are also schools and Greek systems where it is not too uncommon for people with children to pursue membership and be active members (and who are able to balance their life in a healthy and effective manner).

OP, go based on the culture of the school and how you feel about your ability to balance it all. If you are accepted into a GLO, always remember the world doesn't revolve around you and you aren't the only person in that chapter who is busy with other obligations. Make sure you don't subject the members of that chapter to dreaded phrases like "I can't participate in XYZ...I have a child...I have a 'family'...you wouldn't understand...." Remember that you are the one who pursued membership and you could've easily been passed over for another prospective member.
