Why would she be forced to drop out of Active Chapter?

Some NPC sororities (not mine) require that women who either get pregnant or married as undergrads take alumna status. This topic has been talked about alot on GC actually.

If a member marries or becomes pregnant while still a collegian, she has the option of taking alumna status. We've never required a member to go alum, which usually becomes the case, though.
Which NPCs have that requirement, do you know?

I think many did, about 20-30 years ago. I know of one ADPi alumna who has told me about a closed door session involving a pinned junior and the advisors with lots of tears. The junior moved out in the middle of the night, and there was the rumor that she was pregnant.
My own pledge book didn't allow married PNMs or secret marriages, but it's okay now (the married PNMs, I don't know about the secret marriages).

Back in the day, either marriage or prenancy meant taking alum status, but OTW's post suggest that it's optional in both circumstances now.

When I served on EC we had several members get married while still in school and they were always given the option to remain a member, or take alum status because it was automatically granted. All of them decided to take alum status.
In the case of an unmarried pregnant woman, however, if we were faced with a situation like that, I don't think she could handle remaining a collegian, as chapter duties obviously become less of a priority.
