The assumption did turn out to be correct in this case, but wouldn’t there be a lot of situations where PNMs have a maternal grandmother who was a member of one GLO, and a mother who joined a different GLO or has no Greek affiliation? The mother could have chosen not to join a sorority, gone to a college where her own mother’s GLO didn’t have a chapter so she joined another group, attended a college without Greek life, or didn’t attend college at all.
