Almost twenty years ago, I went to celebrate bid night with the chapter I had previously been general advisor for. One of the new members had a six-monthish little boy with her which I assumed was little brother/nephew (?). After the celebration, there was a meeting and half of the chapter members were up in arms about this girl with a baby. I was not the advisor any longer, but the new advisor didn't know what to do. I told them they had pledged this girl and to get over it. Whatever personal convictions you have, it was not fair to punish/kick her out for something they should have resolved before offering her a bid. At the time, my group did not have any rules on babies. Another chapter on this campus had pledged a girl with a baby the year before, but we didn't know this until our teen mom pledged. A close friend of mine advised another NPC group and she had a couple of girls who married and stayed active in college. This was 15 or 20 years ago, so the issue is at least that old.
