having a child is no where near comparable to your major, job, or sports team.

At my school, we held "rush classes" to help explain to the new girls what to look for (and what to avoid) during rush.
good:
"My GPA is a 4.0!"
"I'm looking for a great sisterhood."
"I'm really interested in getting involved."
bad:
"Is GPA a brand of beer?"
"Your letters look really "greek". I like that."
"I have barely any time. I'm with my boyfriend/at my 6 jobs/painting all day."
Meaning, as a sister, you DO kind of decide how appropriate a girl's use of time is. Membership is at a premium -- you only take the girls that (a) are a good fit for your group and (b) will contribute.
I think, fair or not, that I'd question how much a new mom could contribute. I'm sure she's great. But being in a sorority does take up time. Which, it sounds like, most new moms don't have.
