Interesting thread.
KDLady, what a cutie!
My chapter has never had a pregnant new member or active sister, to my knowledge, but I wouldn't have a problem with it... IF the woman were able to fulfill all her obligations to her baby, her academic program, and the sorority. Caring for a small child is a lot of work, and so is being a full-time student, and being in a sorority isn't exactly a zero time commitment either... so that's a pretty big if.
A friend of mine is a single parent and was attending my school while raising a little girl. The father was nowhere in sight. I saw what she went through, scrambling to arrange for day care, finding a babysitter so she could go out once in a while, etc. It got a little easier when her little girl started kindergarten. Still, she was crazy busy; with her academic program and her child (and no father helping out or family in the area), she didn't have time to breathe, much less join a sorority.
Anyway... all this is reminding me of something that happened at my alma mater early in the 20th century. There were only a handful of female students at the time. One young married student became pregnant. The powers-that-were demanded that she drop out of college until she had had the baby (even though she was not due to give birth until after the end of the semester). She refused. After a lot of back-and-forth, they agreed that she could stay in school but she was only allowed to take one class. She chose one of the hardest subjects from her program, and since it was the only class she was focusing on, she completely blew the curve and got one of the highest grades in the class. So that was the end of that policy.
