i would not recommend a pregnant woman pledging a sorority period undergrad, many many chapters do still practice forms of hazing/pledging/mip whatever you want to call it. the activities and time needed may not be detrimental to most but a expecting mother is easily at risk depending on the situation. again sorority life is time consuming, expensive, these things need to be taken into consideration. you need to focus on getting to know your line sisters, doing work and learning more about the sorority during this time. If you already have a child and you want to pledge then i say go for yours, if you can give it your all and still handle your mommy responsibilities as soror Chakalate has done then wonderful, especially with college women being so diverse in age and maturity. (oh by the way you are tight soror Chakalate, but you know this, cali in this piece :0) you have just as much right to persue AKA as the woman with no child but is not married and having sex as an extracurricular activity, in love or not, sex before marriage is a sin according to God. We are all sinners. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" with that said whether you got caught stealing or not, its still wrong. knowing all this the bottom line is what does the chapter want, and if the chapter is cool with it then so be it "pledge on", but if the chapter doesn't feel it will represent the image or values they are trying to uphold then you are out of luck. like my soror said AKA is not a right its a priviledge that comes ultimately down to the chapter vote and we need to respect that or find another sorority. some may feel for example that the gpa should be lower or higher etc. etc. but that's our decision to make and no non soror should be speaking on what the chapter has decided to have as its standard. that is my 1908 cents. good topic by the way.
