Personally, I think that a woman who is with child or has a child is perfectly capable of being a contributing member of a sorority, and I don't think it's the sorority's place to tell her what her priorities should be.
Each chapter has to weigh the impact that having such a member will have on their chapter...there are many things to consider, but if a pregnant woman or a mother came through rush who was willing to make the commitment, and understood the responsibilities, AND, I'm being practical here, the environment on the campus is such that it wouldn't damage the chapter to have her as a member, she should be allowed to join, IMHO. (on my campus, it would have been no biggie).
Anyway, if the argument is simply that she doesn't have the time to commit, what's the difference between the mother, and the 18 year old with no child that has to work almost every day and weekend & misses events on that accord, or simply misses events because she's lazy?
