Naturally I don't know the ins and outs of Pi Phi's rules, but I can think of some
possibilities:
Mother:
1. pregnancy
2. labor
3. delivery
(OR: 1, 2, and 3: emotional, financial and legal complexities of adoption)
4. infant care
5. "terrible twos"
6. years of doctor's appointments, parent-teacher conferences, encouragement and transportation for activities, age-appropriate versions of "The Talk" over the years
7. the teen years
New Member (formerly Pledge):
1. went through formal recruitment or COB
So maybe letting a mother wear that beta isn't so bad (but as I say, what do I know?)
Much more seriously: I hope GCers will remember this thread in the fall when -- if history's any guide -- the usual new batch of comments, questions, and thinly-veiled putdowns about who can / can't wear letters and why, etc., begins to show up .
