I really want to be a housemom when I'm older and the kids are grown.

Yeah, or if the husband kicks it before I do...

exlurker - Thank you for sharing that article. All I can add is that from my experience, House Moms (and Dads) are the best!

In general, are housemoms initiated at some point during their service?

In general, no. Especially the ones that are Housemoms at a fraternity.

We did not initiate our house mom. We did lavaliered her though- so she could wear our homecoming sweatshirts and stuff. In fact she was even part of our Rush skit day(it was a Brady Bunch theme). She dressed up like Alice and was part of the recieving line when the PNMs came in the door.

Why, looking for another avenue in?

No, housemoms were generally not initiated. Some were already members of other NPC organizations (ours is a Kappa Delta), some were members of the same organization and some were not affiliated with any organization. I'm sure in some instances, it has happened, but only after a long and dedicated history of service to an organization.
