As the mother of a small child, you may want to consider which group has women in the same boat. One of my alumnae groups actually had a play group - moms with small children met once a week at homes or at the park. If there were a few moms in either of your two groups, you could possibly organize something like that. In my experience with my GLO, the group is very understanding of the demands of having small children. If you cannot devote a great deal of time now, you may be able to later. I was a full-time chapter advisor until the birth of child #1, and took off a few years. Then I moved, and ending up organizing both an Alumnae Panhellenic and a Crescent Circle! I've helped two women (one was my mom!) through AI - and although I can't speak for any other GLO, I'd be surprised if it differed greatly from G Phi B - and it should not take up too much of your time. Follow your heart would be my advice - if you want to do both, I'm sure you can. If you want to put one on hold, that would work, too.
Best of luck!

That is exactly why one particular BSP chapter has stood out for me so far...all of the others I've talked to are primarily made up of women who already have grandchildren. The "younger" chapter is really the only one I'm interested in joining.

This is very encouraging. Thanks!!!

Good heavens, Beta Sigma Phi is NOT an NPC group, so there should be no conflict. If anything, the NPC group would have fewer demands on you since you are at the alumnae rather than collegiate level. Do both! You can never have too many friends...or sisters!

Congrats Dukemama I'm so glad to hear you're doing well! I've been off the forums too long because of work but I'm also currently looking into BSP or Epsilon Sigma Alpha. Good luck! And hope to hear more news from you
