Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the sister should be kicked out either! I'm just thinking that - if it were allowable according to the terms of that group - it seems like that would be an appropriate circumstance to allow someone to take alumnae status early. She would remain a sister, be able to participate in events, yet not have the mandatory event or dues obligations that come with being an undergraduate member.
I can't even imagine trying to make all the chapter meetings, pay my dues, etc. while also raising/financially supporting a child and attending/paying for school. Yikes! I'm not suggesting the early alumnae status thing as a way to "hide" or "shame" a sister who happened to get pregnant while in school - rather as a way to possibly make her life a little easier.

I know who she's talking about, and I have to add, that this woman is not only a mom AND a sorority sister - she's the PRESIDENT of her chapter.
That is some woman for you. She must have all kinds of support, and I think that's great. Don't get me wrong, it IS completely unconventional, but still none the less amazing.
