We may want our daughters to be happy, but there is nothing wrong with wanting our daughters to be happy in our own sororities

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...

It is a tricky situation. I hate to hear that a pnm is released from a sorority when she was a legacy, it breaks my heart. However, each woman is different from her mother/grandmother/sister and we all know that houses do change over years. It might be tough to see your daugther/sister go to a different GLO from your own but if she's happy isn't that the most important thing? I know my mother told me when I went through recruitment to just join the group that makes you happy. I know that's what I want for my daugther, for her to be happy....
