THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
I think for most parents, you want your offspring to follow in your footsteps, especially in the things you hold close to you -- sorority/fraternity membership whereas your siblings not so much because they're not your offspring and typically siblings do things differently anyway.
As parents, we mold our children and show them the light -- how to live right, manners, attire, education, sorority/fraternity affiliation -- and hope that our training while they are young will follow them in their adult years. It crushes a parent (MY SPECULATION) when their child "rejects" the parent's organization/ways and CHOOSES another organization/ways.
If my unborn, unconceived daughter chose another sorority and not DST, I would be hurt but ultimately I did show my daughter the importance of sisterhood, scholarship, and service which is the underlying principles of all sororities. If she does not find DST a best fit, but finds it with another org, I would celebrate her choice for her.
I'm wise and brave with the unconceived daughter.
Time to go mentor.
ETA: And with the way our world is changing around us, there are bigger fish to fry than if my daughter wears DST on her chest.
