No, it's not my business to decide what people do with their time. But it was my business during an undergrad to decide on membership and who would be appropriate for membership.
having a child is no where near comparable to your major, job, or sports team.

We all do not have to become slaves to our sororities. In my sorority, the required pledge activities were meetings 1-2 hours a week and one all-day pledge retreat, which is nothing a pregnant woman (or even new mom) couldn't handle.

Well that was your chapter. Mine didn't work that way, there were a lot more requirements.

If you don't want a pregnant girl in your chapter -- fine, mutual selection allows us to drop girls from rush for a lot of less-than-substantial reasons. But don't start calling people bad parents because their idea of parenting doesn't match up with yours.

Yep, I said that's what mutual selection is for.
And I didn't call anyone a bad parent. I, along with everyone else, am allowed to express my beliefs and opinions. Just like you can.

I'm also interested -- what if a member of your chapter got pregnant and decided to keep the baby after she had already initiated?

Totally different issue, and not the subject of this thread. But for what it's worth my opinion would be that she should go inactive, because that's a lot to deal with.
