have i ever personally seen a sorority take a pregnant new member? no. have i seen a sister who became pregnant while she was active? yes. now this was not from my own chapter, but a sister of one of the other chapters on my campus. the woman also happened to be panhel vp recruitment that year. she did carry the pregnancy through, but did give the child up for adoption. she gave birth over christman break and came back a few weeks later and ran formal recruitment without breaking stride.
now, taking this into the pregnant pnm/new member issue, i think many of you are not thinking about adoption as a possibility. i agree having to take care of a newborn infant, go to school, and being a new member in a sorority would be quite taxing, but we are not even considering the possibility of a woman who is not keeping the child for her own. now this situation, i feel, would be slightly more do-able.
