First of all I would like to thank soror AKATUDE for her positive response to what I said about pledging while pregnant.
Although M.I.P is the process, you still pledge the sorority. Pledge does not mean haze and I think many people are fooled by that term.
Whenever you become a part of something that is bigger than you, you need to realize that what is best for the organization is best for you. If you want to pledge, you need to put yourself in the minds and the hearts of your potential line sisters or sorors.
Would you want to have your process altered due to the ideas and choices of another person on your line? Or would you want the opportunity to enjoy your process to the fullest like most. The pressure, time and effort of knowing what you need to know could be overwhelming to a pregnant woman.
I just think a woman or man should wait until they are stable and are handling things with that child, then she/he will be able to have sound mind and time to pledge that organization.
Much that is given is received and if you cannot give much you will receive just that.
