Then I have heard of others who make it really tough for their child by constantly lamenting the fact that they're not XYZ. Sometimes that girl drops out of her sorority before initiation because mom just doesn't approve. Or she insists that she transfer to another school, try to get a bid, initiate, and transfer back.

At what point do you say "I just want Suzy to be happy?"
Not a situation where the legacy chapter cut the legacy, but...
I was rush advisor the year that a big legacy at XYZ chose Kappa over her mom's chapter. The mom was in town for rush (not unusual at this campus) and when she learned the daughter put KKG number 1 instead of XYZ, the mom left town and refused to attend Bid Day celebrations. She never attended a Mom's Day event either.

Nice one.
