Will the Sorority want me?

I'm am interested in joining a NHPC sorority, but I have a few concerns that I thought could be answered here. One concern is that I was in college but I left to join the military and after 3+ years I will be returning as a full time student. I also will be working, but I will only pledge if I know I have the time. I'm 22 so I'll older than the other women who will decide to pledge. I also am a mother and I wasn't sure how that would effect anything. Would I not be wanted because I'm older or because they'll feel like I can't completely dedicate my time to the sorority? Another major concern is that I'm not sure if I'm what they are looking for. I know most of the stereotypes with sororities aren't true or they have strayed away from the cookie cutter female. But SO many people who I know have always told me that they see me as one thing but it is kind of the opposite of what I want to be. I didn't pledge when I was in college the first time around because I wanted to actually study the sororities and not join based on what people thought I should be. I really researched this sorority and I love the mission statement and the things that the women of this sorority have done. I really can not see myself pledging any other thing. I also learned that my aunt is a member of this sorority and I really look up to her. I would really like to speak with young girls with low self esteem and girls who have lived a tough life because those are some of the things that I dealt with as a child. (But I digress) When it comes to the look, I think I have it, but I'm not prissy or sassy. (I'm sure you all know what sorority I'm referring to now) I was never the popular type. I know that we would all like to think that the sorority members wouldn't choose who they want based off of stereotypes, but sometimes it is actually a popularity contest. Any words of wisdom, experienced, or just hard honest truth? Thanks
