33girl, your post was very well stated, and is pretty much what I have been saying all along.
The topic of this thread is "Would YOU give a bid to a pregnant PNM?" I answered that only in the terms of this particular campus and really only in terms of my own particular chapter of which I am an alumna.
I think that all of us realize that greek systems are different in different parts of the country. Actually, they are different from school to school. For example, there are very few similarities between rush at Auburn and rush at Alabama, even though they aren't that far away from one another. What I didn't appreciate in this thread is how some people felt that I was being discriminatory, etc., when I was only stating the facts of what it is like here. I am not holding UA up as an ideal, but being realistic about what it is like for our actives. I have lived in a number of places all over the country, and have seen vast differences in chapters at various colleges/universities. I never said that a chapter who would accept a pregnant or married PNM was a bad chapter or that they were making the wrong decision. Just that it would not happen here!
