I know some Moms have already started "dropping by" their houses with daughters in tow

With the way many cut their legacies, MORE THAN A FEW are starting their preparations as we speak.

I think that it is good that moms are dropping by with their daughters. All chapters take legacies seriously and my chapter always documents a damn good reason for releasing one.
It can be very irritating as an active to
never hear from an alum until her daughter goes through rush. Then we are expected to be chomping at the bit to offer her a bid. If mom isn't active why would her daughter be? Women need to ask themselves "Would any of the actives at the nearest chapter vaguely recognize me from alumnae activities?" or "Do any alums in my area know I'm an XYZ?" If the answers are definitely "NO" then the woman should think about reconnecting with an alum group or helping the nearest chapter. We need active alums so we try to pledge girls who will be active after graduation. If a mom is not active then we often assume that her daughter will not be either.
I'm probably preaching to the choir. Anyone on GC is more active than the average alum.
