A pledge with a kid?

Like HotDamn said, I don't see where the grounds for de-pledging her are, UNLESS there is some by-law that says she can't have children. Just because a person tells a lie, and from what you say, small ones about stupid stuff, ok, so they tell dumb lies, I'm sure someone else may have stinky breath and someone else drinks a little too much, etc (just examples). But unless it was osmething crucial and detremental to your org, its not that serious from what you're telling us. As far as not allowing women with children, I think that that sucks in any shape or form. That's like saying that JUST because you have a child or are married, you're not good enough, or you're telling them that WITHOUT GIVING YOU A CHANCE we KNOW you can't handle it. I mean, that is unfair. I'm very sure that most people with children wouldn't even think of joining something as time consuming and costly as a sorority and fraternity without considering whether or not they would be able to handle it all and still put the child's needs first (yes there are those few irresponsible ones, but they are few). And shutting them down for having a child because you have a "reputation" to uphold is crap because unless you have a policy that says that all members must be virgins when they pledge and the entire time they're in undergrad then the only difference between you all and them is that you missed the bullet so to speak. I have a child, and even if I didn't I wouldn't want to be a part of an organization that discriminated upon prospective members based upon past "mistakes". They'd be missing out on the talents, resources and dedication that I can offer, all qualities that also make me a good parent.

Ok, I'm through LOL

Girl, you got me cracking up

I was thinking the same thing.
