It is my belief that sororities should attempt to maintain its integrity. The very breakdown of the American family is attributed by unwed pregnancies being seen as acceptable. In my book it is not! If a young lady finds herself in this situation, it is my belief that one should see this (the act, not the child) as an error. It should not be seen as okay but as an obstacle that one must and will endure/overcome. Yet society not only views having baby showers for twelve year olds and terms such as my baby daddy as cute. It is not! I do not believe that one should conduct intake process with any sorority while in this state. Once she has gotten herself, child and situation straignt then seeking membership is acceptable. Let me add only acceptable if she (Any young lady included) can be a valuable asset. If not, don't attempt membership...AT ALL! This statement includes those young ladies that do not find themselves as unwed mothers but very promiscuous. Finding self worth should be one's first priority before membership into a sorority...especially Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

I have to agree with that opinion! I think it's riduculus somtimes that society has made all of these things acceptable. It saddens me when I tell my grandmother that someone else is pregnant and she asks me if she is married or are they going to get married and my answer is ALWAYS no! Not to say that you should marry becasue of a child but once you decide to enter into a sexual relationship, having a child CAN happen and you should be prepared to accept the consequences. And as someone stated earlier, I believe the same should go for men. Being an unwed father and NOT taking responsiblity for your child OR children is WRONG and IRRESPONSIBLE!! I believe it reflects badly on fraternities too.
