Quite honestly, I would not have wanted a pregnant girl in my house when I was in college.
We had a girl who got pregnant and she went alum., which I think was appropriate. It's not that we didn't want her to be a sister anymore - it was her choice - and of course she will always be a sister, but some circumstances make it rather difficult to be an ACTIVE sister.
I am not saying that no mothers could, but I would say that most young mothers would struggle to balance the responsibilities of motherhood and sorority life.
I know everyone will probably get mad about this, but on my campus, it wouldn't look very good for the chapter either. But then again, I went to a school where the sororities are on the traditional side - not to the Southern degree, but the girls are always 18 to 23 or so, live in dorms/sorority houses/apartments, don't commute, etc... It just would have stood out, I guess. I am sure things are different at some schools, or maybe some chapters would be willing to take a stand to try to make things different at theirs.
