I see what you're saying here. I think alot of the issue with moms "ignoring the warnings" is that some moms don't just want their little girl to be an ABC, they want her to be an ABC at THEIR school. It is more important for her to be a Big Southern State U ABC than it is for her to be an ABC at all. They want their daughter to have the same experiences as they had as a member of that chapter.

For example, my friend is a Chi Omega legacy. She could've gone to school here in OH and pledged Chi O at any one of them. But her mom is an SEC school Chi O alumna and insisted that her daughter go to THAT school and be a Chi Omega.
