After that, you could volunteer for the chapter on your campus or join an alumnae chapter in your area. And once you learn more about the sorority you could become an advisor.

Alumnae initiation is NOT this easy, and it is done, when it is done (which is rarely) by invitation. You don't just fill out a form and get initiated. As the OP is searching to "fully experience college" alumna initiation is not what she wants. You cannot participate as an active member of a college chapter if you are an AI, any more than any other alumna can.

mruff77 - I would be sure to ask the Greek life office questions about housing and whether or not it's required of sorority members to live in the house. Also, whether the majority of women pledging are freshmen. If the answer to these two things is "yes" you might feel uncomfortable in a sorority or have a tough time receiving a bid. This is a generalization but it usually holds up.

Remember, if you do go into this, you will have time commitments you have to fulfill. No one is going to give you a "pass" on mandatory events because of your marital/mom status.
