I handled life as a student and aspirant offline and you should to, jerk.

I hate that whole "don't forget you once were in my shoes..." crap. Sell those wooden nickels elsewhere because there is no excuse for acting like a jerk on GC.

Yep, you embodied your user name.

I'm not a member of this sorority, so I'm not at risk of giving away any membership secrets. My guess is although you technically COULD pledge, it probably won't happen. There's just a level of weird that the girls just wouldn't dig. Isn't this the kind of joke done in bad movies about the bad house on campus? Besides, presuming you are actually raising this child, you don't have the time to commit to a sorority. If you have friends in the chapter, hopefully you can continue attending the occasional event.

I would say you've made your lifelong commitment... to your child... and your desire to be a sorority girl unfortunately went out the window.

Best of luck to you!

You should have left this to the Deltas or members of NPHC sororities to answer since they can answer from experience. There are plenty of women in our organizations with children, both on the undergrad and grad levels. Having a child in undergrad is not "weird" today like it once was many years ago and since our membership is for life and extends beyond college, many active alumnae members (who run these organizations) have children of course and are married. And yes, we do it all. We are extraordinary women. Some women can't hold down a career, household, marriage, school, and be leaders in their communities and in their organizations but we can and do just that. This is what sets us a part.

So if the poster is extraordinary (extra ordinary), she certainly could do it all if extended membership.

I feel the same way about this thread I used to feel about Everybody Loves Raymond. This is still on?

Been away for quite a long time, living life and doing me but.....

Precious Diva 88, here is my very humble opinion. I too was a 'hopeful' and didn't make grad chapter. I am married with 2 kids. Trust when I say, the lifelong commitment of being a member should never conflict with your priority to take care of your child.

I ask you, first, who is caring for your child when you are at all these events trying to make yourself known?

Second, if you are granted this wish, who will care for your child when you are in the process?

Third, who will keep your child if you become a neophyte and are busy running around to your committee meetings and all? As an outsider looking in, a committed member COULD be out of the home in the evenings atleast 2-3 times a week before AND after becoming a member.

In the chapters in MY neck of the woods, providing childcare for members, who are working in the name of Delta, has definitely not seemed to be a priority.

If it is sisterhood you are craving, like most mommies do, reconnect with other mother-friends and make yourself content. Being away from your son during his formative years, is not worth the sacrifice. I have witnessed women who left thier kids home alone to go off and handle business for the organization, and no one ever seemed to care that these women were mothers. No one ever asked, 'Hey, I know you are single, where are the kids?' All that mattered was accomplishing the business of the chapter.

Delta will have been around for 100 years in 2013. You have made it with out the organization this long AND THEY HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU; consider that you can wait until after your child is out of the house and is self sufficient.

Good Luck and be a mother first.

^^^ Interesting response. Over half of our last line (alumnae) had babies or toddlers during the process. Some were single parents. Interestingly enough they shared sitters, etc. Now they are active in the chapter and no one seems to be neglecting their children.

I have always been very active in Delta even after my daughter was born. I was single. She seems to have turned out pretty good. Oh and yeah she is now a MBA and an active Delta.

Totally off topic, but that's awesome. You must be SO proud of her!
