Thank you everybody for your posting your comments. Fortunatly for me I live with my husband and also have all of my family around me that supports my decision on trying to join a soroity. They offer to help with my child through out my college period. I am going to purse to the soroity that I do choose. The worst thing that could happen is they say NO. But I will never find that out until I try!!! I think that by being married to my childs father would be a postive that a soroity would look at, not a negiative. Thank You all!!!

I think having a child will be weighed negatively. I don't know one person in my school's Greek system who had a child. Maybe it happens elsewhere, but it definitely is not the norm. Your life as a wife and mother is 100% different from that of a typical college student.

A girl in my pledge class was 23 or 24 and received a bid because she was a legacy. She never hung out with the rest of the pledge class, who were a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds, and eventually dropped out of the sorority within a year. If age makes that much of a difference, I'd think motherhood would be even worse.

Being married to your baby's daddy? I'm not sure if that even falls on their "Good Candidate for Membership" checklist.
No one is asking for brownie points to enter a soroity. I want to work hard just like anybody else. I understand what every body is saying. All I want is a chance. The worst thing they can say is NO.

If you attend a VERY untraditional school where the sororities contain returning students, married students etc and typical college social activities are a very small part of it, then give it a try.

But if you go through rush and they tell you that there are mixers every Thursday, fraternity parties that members are "encouraged" to attend on the weekends, and many all-Greek philanthropies to be attended, I would not join. You'll either be away from your baby far too much, or paying for something you can't fully enjoy. Lots of bonding gets done at social events and if you're always hanging back or unable to attend, you'll miss the whole point of being in a sorority.

What type of sorority are you trying to join?

There are NO NPC sororities at Technical schools. I could be wrong, but I don't believe there are any NPHC sororities at technical schools either.

If there are no sororities on your campus, you can't join one and there won't be anyone there to tell you 'yes' or 'no'.

I will say that PennTech (Pennsylvania College of Technology) does have some NPCs...and some National Fraternities...I'm pretty sure. If we are talking about something like ITT-then, I agree. It all depends.

Sorry, I should have been more specific - by technical schools I meant those along the lines of ITT.
