Pregnant and in a sorority

[KSUViolet06]

Disclaimer: I have NEVER dealt with this situation as an active, so I'm no expert. I also don't know if you plan on keeping the baby, but my advice is based on the assumption that you are.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't know if any sorority has a national rule about terminating the membership of those who become pregnant, but some of them DO require them to take early alumna status. I'd speak to someone like an advisor to see if your sorority has such a national policy or local bylaw.

I also suggest telling a sister you can trust, who would be willing to help you "break the news" to the chapter. I wouldn't hide it from them, since that's how rumors get started.

If the sorority does not require you to take alumna status or quit, then the situation is up to you and whether you feel like you can handle preparing to be a mom while being an active sorority member. Like it or not, if you remain active I can pretty much guarantee that people will find out and some will have negative things to say (about both you and ZTA). But then again, it's not your job to be worried about what people will think about you. It's your job to do what's best for you and your baby. Whether that involves remaining active, becoming an alumna, or dropping out altogether, is up to you.

Best of luck to you!
