This is so true. I remember that my sister was very worried going into prefs that she might have to rank her first choice over our mom's house. She had wanted to be a Kappa since day one of recruitment, but she didn't want Mom to think she was choosing Kappa over her own mother (even though Mom would have been okay about it). I think she was probably a little relieved to be cut by mom's house before prefs so that she didn't have to make that tough choice as a daughter. I can imagine it would be a much tougher situation for a PNM if her mom was insane/trying to push her chapter on her.
Update on the PNM from the OP: Did not see her or her mom today; perhaps they are on vacation? Anyway, whenever I get the chance to talk to her mom I will be sure to let y'all know how that goes.
