Marriage while a member?

In my house we just initiated a sister with a baby. She is extremely devoted to the house, but will never be able to live-in, or hold a high office because of that. Before pledging her we had to talk to our nationals, and they said it was okay. It was still a difficult issue for my house, because one had to discuss what her priorities were if she was willing to give up so much time from her child to be a part of the house.

I was a bit skeptical, but she has been a great assett to our house. On a side note I do know that if a member gets pregnant while active they are asked to leave. My personal opinion is that this is necessary. It is hard enough to be pregnant and a full time student, but to be spending twenty + hours with sorority business a week...I don't know how that could be good for the sister or her unborn baby.
