In a few weeks, I begin fall rush and I am sooooo excited! I have been addicted to greekchat and found a lot of great stuff, so thank you!

But I have a question in regards to legacy (and i promise i've searched). My Mom is an alum of sorority XYZ at my university (lets say "College University"), and although I would love to be a member of XYZ, I would like to keep my options open.

I have read some threads that suggest mentioning to the actives that your family members are Greek, but not to mention which sorority they were a part of. I believe the post said something along the lines of "it shows the actives that you know a little more about greek life than the average PNM" since your family members were involved. Since we both went/go to College University, I tend to think saying she went there would be a plus because the sisters know I understand the value of College University's sisterhood, and have been directly exposed to it.

Here's the dilemma: I dont want the actives to think that just because my mom was an XYZ at College University means that I will also go XYZ at College University and then cut me. I dont want the girls in other sororitys to think that I am not interested in them because I am a VERY direct legacy of another chapter.

Thoughts?
