Pregnant and in a sorority

I think Ill probably wait until late february to announce my engagement, I just told my big sister at lunch today and her and I are gonna really think about how to best break the news to my chapter, if we should do the candleight, but she is very happy for me, but understands that the whole chapter might not be so supportive. Our biggest concern besides the baby is the reputation of our chapter, we are in very high standings at our school and i would hate to jeopardize that, especially before spring rush. Im sure most of you guys understand how competitive it can get.

I absolutely love zeta and I really hate the thought of dropping, I wish there was some way to have the best of both worlds but my priorities are changing so much! On the brightside if its a girl it would be a legacy and if its a boy it would be a triple legacy for pi kappa phi, so itll be very greek... If only i could name it themis... haha

Something to think about, just because you tell your chapter, does not mean the whole entire Greek community needs to know you're pregnant. Your sisters should respect you enough not to tell anyone outside of Zeta, because it is of no concern to anyone else at your school except those you tell.

Remember, you aren't dropping ZTA. You are taking early alumna status. Two very different things.

Good luck with everything. As for names for a girl, you do have some founders you could name the baby after!

i am so glad you brought that up. going early alum. just grants you alumna status ;you are still a zeta! you just don't have the obligations of attending weekly chapter meetings, socials, sisterhoods or paying dues-which will be a blessing because babies cost a lot-diapers, stroller, diaper bag, clothes, crib-it goes on and on, but is so much fun to shop for them!

i am sure that your chapter will let you participate in anything that you would like to-and as for recruitment, you could assist as an alumna and go home after the last party and not have to stay up all night voting!

What will be really sad will be that any boys they have will get to go off to college with this rich greek legacy behind them but any girls they have won't have any... hope they don't want to go to school in the south...

Not necessarily the advantages during recruitment, but just the extra special bond that you could have with a daughter by being able to share Zeta with her, just ask FSUZeta!
