My sister confirmed that it's just a personal call to the probate show. I am sure that they have no knowledge that my mom is from a different sorority.

You can still be claimed as a dependent until the age of 24 if you are in college. Actually when you try to apply for federal loans (ie fafsa), you must use your parents tax information until you are either 24, married, or have a child.

I apologize if you feel that I came off with too much information, but I have to disagree with you for 3 reasons.
1-I did not reveal what sorority my mom is in nor which one my sister is trying to join. Nor did I say either was a D9, so that could be dozens of different possibilites.
2-It is not uncommon for a student who is not working, but only a full-time student, to ask his/her parents for the money and/or take out a student loan to pay for the process.
3-My sister isn't the first, second, or last person that will not join her mother (or his father)'s sorority/fraternity.
