I need to know what they are all about before I commit my time and energy to that organization! The moral of the story is stay active, stay positive, and bring your daughters around the sisterhood, make them rhoers, let them help out with the community service projects and there is a good chance that she or they will have the strong desire to go your way!!!

Soror, I strongly agree with that statement. I already have my eye on my 12 year old niece, and I hope to expose her to the sorority and somehow getting her involved in a Rhoers Club. (She's in Macon, and I'm in ATL, so it'll be interesting to see how everything works out.)
mccoyred has given us even more to think about. Excellent question!!! If my child or niece were not Sigma material, I wouldn't support their attempts to become a member, but I would try to consult her. Maybe she's made some poor choices that have lead to poor outcomes in her life. That could be turned around with a little coaching and a little love. Now, if I would consider her a mediocre candidate for Sigma, I would think the same for any other organization. Another way to look at it is if my daughter/niece were just another prospective. If I saw j.a.p. at a Rush and I disliked too many qualities in her, I wouldn't think highly of her going for any organization because I have too much respect for all 4 NPHC sororities. Therefore, unless she could shape up, there would be no way I would financially support her pledging any sorority.
