I just have to make a comment about this from several different perspectives.
First, there was a woman that came through rush while I was an active. She was very open about it, and was cut from all six chapters by the third round. I personally think that while we sit here and fight stereotypes of alcoholic whores and dumb witches, having a member 'with child' also portrays an image. This is probably an image that most college women would not want to be associated with.
Second, after just having my first child, I can't IMAGINE having done it while in college...working full time, taking 18 hours, and fulfilling sorority commitments. Not to mention, I wasn't very nice during my pregnancy!
For those of you who think it unfair, the times they are a chaning...ideals have evolved with them, so perhaps an all pregnant new member class is on the horizon! Wouldn't that be fun! (Lamaze class during meetings!) Sorry, that wasn't very nice, but after I said the first sentence, I had an amusing visual!
