I advised a small chapter. The chapter had quite a few mom's in it. The campus wasn't your "traditional" campus, there were a lot of older students. One of the sisters had a 3 year old and the father lived in the same town, so she could participate in sorority functions. Another one had a baby while in school and it truly effected her. Her grades slipped, she wasn't able to attend social functions due to her grades, she also struggled to fulfill her obligations as a member (attending meetings, philanthropy events, etc...). Another sister ended up pregnant and I believe she decided to leave the chapter. (I'm not sure if she was given alumnae status or if she had to resign her membership as I was no longer an advisor when this happened).
I can tell you from watching, it was incredibly tough for these women to do school, motherhood, and sorority and I advised a chapter with less than 50 women on a campus of less than 3000. I can't imagine how it would be at Arkansas.
If you really want to rejoin your chapter, you need to follow Honeychile's advice. You need to call EO and talk to them. You then need to contact the chapter advisor of the chapter you wish to join, you then need to talk to the chapter executive board.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
