Essentially, her parents were "giving" her the opportunity to live the life they had all wanted for her in spite of her mistake, recognizing that she didn't have the resources (financially or personally) to take care of the baby anyway. I also know situations where the parents took on the child as their own and raised it as a sibling of the real mother. In that type of situation, the girl had no parenting responsibilities while in college and most who met her, unless she told them, wouldn't even know she was a parent. It is, as DSTRen13 said, like an open adoption (although I think of it more like foster care) within the family.

If the grandparents are willing to do that, I see no problem with the girl pledging a sorority.
I'd much rather the child be raised by willing grandparents then a resentful, immature girl. (I'm not saying this particular girl would be resentful and immature, but it's often the case)
