That's a great Tri Delt/ADPi article! It is kind of weird when one of your daughters (or 6, lol) pledge other groups..I remember thinking when the oldest first pledged, okay pandas, I have to look for panda stuff, this feels so odd even though we and she loved her new sisters. For some reason, it never occurred to me before recruitment that of course she wasn't going to be a Pi Phi, her school didn't have it. Actually, we never looked to see which sororities they had until 3 months before she started there. Possibly due to the fact that I'd had a baby in March, haha.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it's a shock when you realize that your child isn't going to inherit your traditions and it's got to be an awful one when it's involuntary- like a close friend has hurt you deeply.
