I agree wholeheartedly about planting the seed early. I had to share this little story. My mother is an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman, and I was exposed to AKA since before I can even remember. I just crossed this fall, and when I came home for Christmas, my mother took me into her bedroom and pulled out this folder. Inside was a page from a AKA coloring book I had colored in elementary school. The picture was of a little girl discovering the ivy vine, and there was a tree in the background with "I Love AKA" carved into it. Just looking at the picture brought tears to my eyes, and my mother told me she saved it immediately because she knew I would be her soror one day.
But to answer the question.... I'm not going to lie. I would be hurt if my daughter wanted to be part of another organization. However, my decision was based not only on my mother, but on what I saw when I came to college. Should my daughter decide she wants to pursue membership elsewhere, I would support that much more than I would her becoming my soror if AKA is not in her heart. But let her come ask me for money for anything else. Please.
