This actually happened to my chapter back in the day (late 1980s). This girl went through rush, and while we knew she was slightly older than your typical pledge (late 20s) no one ever asked if she had a child. I had a couple of classes with her, and studied at the library with her, and the issue never came up. So, she completes her new member period and becomes a sister. Later that year, right before our spring formal, I ran over to her apartment to get something - can't remember what. I looked over at her spare bedroom, and there are two miniature bunk beds, a huge toy box and other kid-centered things there.
I looked at her and asked her if she had kids. She told me she didn't - she kept that room for when her little brother and sister came to visit her. I didn't really believe it, so I let the subject drop.
The following fall, this particular sister asks me to be in her wedding, and I went with her to her home town to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress. It was then I found out that 1) this would be her 2nd marriage and 2) she did indeed have 2 kids. Her mother turned out to be a fountain of information.
She de-activated when we returned to campus. One of our sisters moved into her apartment complex ratted her out to our e-board. I honestly don't think our e-board would have been as angry with her if she had admitted from the beginning that she had kids. She made most of the meetings, and she was a great girl.
