So true. Like JocelynC said, it is a concern depending upon the campus environment. A more liberal school might be more accepting of a pregnant member but a more conservative school would not be. I'll admit that the gossip mill would be working overtime at my school if one of the greeks got pregnant and carried the baby to term. I'm sure most of the greeks at my school have been involved with pre-marital sex but being pregnant is like wearing a scarlet letter. Personally, I wouldn't look down upon a girl that is pregnant out of the wedlock but not everyone is that accepting. Every member is a representation of their organization and some chapters may not want all the gossiping and whispering because of one member. I can understand the POV although I may not agree with it.
