If the story you told is the truth, I'll echo Drolefille and say get your butt to grief counseling, rather than to recruitment. You are looking for something to fix your pain rather than working through it and dealing with it. The LAST thing you want is to be "OMG that poor girl who's a legacy and we have to take her because of what happened." You will be "that girl" for your entire college career, and then some.
I guess I kind of wonder why with such strong family ties you didn't go to that college in the first place...or if you truly want to be there at all...or if you're going there/wanting to join this group out of a misplaced sense of obligation and survivors' guilt. Do some long hard thinking, and if where you truly want to be is your original college, you CAN make it work. Let the college know what happened, check out your student loans, and see if the sorority you're ALREADY in has scholarships for needy members. Believe me, I understand family pressure...I have actually had family members tell me I should stay in my hometown (where I was miserable) and get a crappy job that I hated because I was obligated to my mother to do so. If anyone is telling you anything like that, tell them to go pound sand and that living your own life that YOU want doesn't mean you didn't love your mother.
IrishLake: She pledged ABC at her first college and is now transferring to SecondCollege. Her mom, grandma, sisters, cousins, and aunts were all XYZs at SecondCollege. XYZ wasn't at FirstCollege.
