Wow....
I was married (almost 9 years) when I begain the new member process for Phi Sigma Sigma. I can say that it wasn't a terrible thing. I work full time and was in a graduate...yes I said graduate...program when I begain the process.
Yes it was time consuming...Yes it was a lot of work. But it was MY choice and I was committed to the organization.
Many of you talk as if you die once you get married. NOT!!!! Some of you say things about traditional Greek things and husbands not approving. Well, in my humble opinion, there isn't anything that a Greek Woman should be doing that her husband doesn't approve of.
Greek Women should be women of principle, good citizens, philanthropic, faithful, loyal. They should seek academic excellence and should be active in their communities. If a husband doesn't want his wife to have these qualities, then he needs to check himself.
A husband wouldn't want his wife to be in an organization that is the stereotypical sorority GIRL that is in the movies...always drunk, dummer than dirt, and a slut.
If that is the kind of GIRL in your organization then her husband has every right to not want her to participate.
Each woman needs to set her priorities. The level of activity varies amongst all of the members. I am one of the most active women in my chapter. I have held executive positions, committee chairs, and organized many activities through out the years. I have managed to keep a 3.8 GPA and work every day. We have some women, who are your traditional 18-22 sorority girls who can not say that.
We have several members who are married and/or have children who are more committed to the ideals of Phi Sigma Sigma and promote them through our activites.
So, before you just right all of us married folks off, think twice. You may be missing out on a woman who can teach you a thing or two.
