One of the chapters I've worked with has had more than one member with a baby. In fact, both were mothers before they joined the chapter. It depends on the campus, really. This was a commuter campus where all the women lived at home with their parents. The one member I knew well had a lot of support from her parents who, in spite of her mistake early in life, wanted her to still have a "typical" college experience and helped her do that. She was everything BUT dead weight as she was the VPF. She had great grades and, from what I observed, was a good mom. Different chapters require different time commitments.
I was at that Convention, btw.
And, like Susan314, I am from a chapter in Michigan where the non-Greeks touted their GDI status proudly. They called themselves that more than the Greeks did. In fact, my own mother told me that she was a GDI when she was in college and was proud of it.. and she went to college in 1956.
