Hmmm...
This is how I see it, and I know that I'm just trying to be optimistic...A twenty year old girl is a twent year old girl. Yes, she will be married, and yes she will be in graduate school, but she's still 20 and enthusiastic to become an active sorority member. I think the rushers (and anyone for that matter) would see her as her first, then her academic status and relationship status. How she approaches this topic will be critical.
It's not like she's a 40 year old, 8 month pregnant woman in hair curlers (not that that's a bad thing, of course!). She's 20 and obviously determined and smart. Personally, I would see the fact that she's a 20 y/o married MBA candidate stranger than her wanting to join a sorority.
Despite what I think, it maybe completely different at Williamette. It could be a real disadvantage that you will be married and a graduate student. I think the fact that you you want to participate in a less involved manner would be your biggest disadvantage. That's what is what stands out the most to me. I'm not an NPC sister, but that would really stand out to me. That, plus the fact that grad school is a lot more work than undergrad. Lack of time + wanting a lesser role = hesitation on my part.
