MOM

OP talks about Mu Omicron Mu, and we've had at least one of their members here.

Yes, wasn't it BLACKROSE? A little nutty...

My chapter had a young mom, one got pregnant when I was a senior (she was on inactive academic status anyway because she was graduating early so taking a crazy courseload and doing her thesis in the same semester, oddly enough this was all planned out before the pregnancy), and another collegian had a baby this year. We've had a couple of young moms in the past, too.

I think if they want to have their own group though, that's awesome! Being active in an NPC chapter can be extremely difficult with even a part-time job sometimes, let alone a full-time, 24 hour a day job like being a parent plus school plus some way of supporting themselves - sometimes single collegians just don't get it. I know that with at least one of our young moms she had a real problem relating to the rest of the group because her situation changed so drastically in such a short time period, and none of the actives could relate.

I think this organization is a great idea.

I think it's one thing if a sister becomes pregnant while active, but I would have to think twice about a single mother who is rushing. In single I mean baby daddy is not or barely involved in the child's life. What is this girl's priority? Is it fair that she would have special treatment (because of the child) in regards to missing events or having to leave early?

On my commuter campus, this still doesn't happen very often. And I would have welcomed it had I known that the priorities of the PNM were in the right place.
