My understanding is that the rule would be national, as dictated by that group's Head Office. If a sorority woman was to get married while still attending university, she is deemed to be of "alumna status". I would say the same for her pregnancy, whether within wedlock or out of wedlock. I believe that historically, the reason is perhaps they feel that when women get married or become with child, their priorities will change somewhat, and that the sorority may not have as "active" of a member as they once had. However, I also believe that some HQ are re-examing this "rule", and married girls won't necessarily be automatically deemed alumnae if they still in college. I think KKG is one group that is re-examining their rules on this.
Pnguintrax, if you're out there, this sounds like a question that you could definitely share your expertise with us!
