What I can't figure out...I've known several moms who send their daughters into competitive recruitments, planning that their daughters will pledge their legacy chapter and ignoring warnings of those in the know who tell them that if it's so important that their daughters be an ABC, they'd better try to rush at a smaller college. We've seen moms go ballistic when their daughters were cut by their highly competitive legacy chapters (those with maybe 4 times the number of legacies that they can pledge) when the daughter could have easily pledged the so-important legacy chapter at a smaller university.
And yes, I know that the important thing is the daughter's education but let's suppose she's going to be an education major, which most universities seem to offer. If it's so important that the girl be an ABC, what's the difference between her going to Huge U with 30,000 students and Smaller U with 15000?
There's a mom a town over who sent her younger daughter to a huge university, planning that she would join ABC since mom and older sister had done so at other schools. Younger daughter was cut right off by her legacy group. We have not heard the end of this from Mom for 4 years.
