When I was an ABC pledge there was a pledge sister of mine who was a major XYZ legacy at our VERY competitive school. ABC and XYZ are giant rivals and top houses. She grew up in the college town, and her mama took her to every XYZ event her whole life. Mom was very involved as an XYZ alum. She went through rush, her mom was at XYZ pref night, and she just wasn't feeling it. She had a ton of friends who were ABC's and she just didn't like a few XYZ actives. So, she preffed ABC 1, XYZ 2 and was in my pledge class! She was crying on bid day...partly because she was excited, but partly because she was sad she'd let her mom down. Mom eventually got over it, but it took awhile...
