I get frustrated when an alumna has a daugther going through and for whatever reason her daugther picks another group to pledge. Sometimes the alumna will get mad at her chapter when really their daugther was never told about her mother's sororities until she was a freshman in college! I think in order for it to be a true mutual selection for a legacy the mother, grandmother, sister, etc must talk to their legacy about their sorority and share memories, experiences, etc...

This is exactly worries me. There was a time when the number of women in any given college was much smaller, and less in sororities. Now, we have a situation where there actually could be more legacies than quota.

I see this as something that NPC really does need to address on a national basis - before too much damage (and hurt!) is done.
