I was looking into student organizations and sororities a while ago. I had been recently married and i wasnt sure of the requirements so I asked one of the girls I had class with that was in a sorority if it was ok if you were married. She informed me that being married was fine but having kids "was not okay at all." At the time I didnt realize I was pregnant so I didnt even worry about that remark but when I found out I was that kind of turned me away from the traditional sororities on campus.

I think it depends on the school and the chapter. I have advised chapters with older women with children.

One woman with younger children did not bring them to chapter events (never to meetings) although if we were having an informal picnic or something of that nature she would.

She was looking for something to have for herself, so it was not a conflict that her children were not involved. But its entirely possible that the culture at other schools is different in this regard.
