She attended three houses during prefs including the house where I was initiated back in the “dark ages”-the late seventies. In the end-she loved them all and had a very difficult time making her decision.

When she received her bid, we were both surprised by the invitation.

Let me stop here and say my daughter is extremely happy and I couldn’t be happier about where she is at UGA. Her sorority is filled with wonderful girls and she has had the time of her life. If there was ever a case of “what is meant to be – will be”, this is it. She is definitely where she was meant to be!

My advice to mothers of future PMNs who have a legacy status, especially from the house where you were initiated, email the membership chair to confirm they have received your introduction. I am not a “helicopter” mom so I was hesitant in going to far. I have to say “I” was disappointed in the way my chapter handled my situation.
That is wonderful news! Would love to know where she is of course being the nosy GC'er that I am!

And I can't tell you how many moms I have met in the past few years - including women whose daughters are now in their 30's or 40's even - who are still to this day bitter about how "their" sororities handled their legacy daughters. They refuse to have almost anything to do with "their" sororities now....although - oddly - one still is okay with writing recs for other PNMS

So it is refreshing to hear about your positive attitude!
