One of my friends even ran the Boston Marathon last year at 6 months pregnant. But who knows what "marching" actually entails.

For some people, that is true. Both my sisters ran into their 8 months of pregnancies. But that is a choice. Being made to do "a LOT of marching" tells me that it probably happens at any time of day (or night!). I know that pregnant women have a lot of uncomfortable days. Pregnant bodies do funny things and sometimes, a girl just doesn't feel like MARCHING. Being wheeled around in a wheelchair probably isn't that comfortable, either. Which is another oddity to me:
"Arrangements have already been made for a wheelchair (which, oddly enough, we've had to use for 6-7 years straight now because of outside injuries like hip and knee problems)."
I cannot believe for one minute that
"Being a college sponsored group, our entire schedule of activities is approved by college staff".
It is hazing, pure and simple. And if you haze a pregnant woman, shame on you twice.
