I convinced her she should at least go through and see what happened.
When I say influenced it was more a tact of asking her questions and letting her see the answers for herself. I wanted her to be aware of all the things to consider when she made her choice. We discussed everything from what she THOUGHT a sorority should be to what happens if someone she loves cut her. Ultimately, she came to believe (knowing how she loved to be involved and volunteer) it was better to go GREEK than not.
Everyone in this town knows everyone and where they ended up. She had said 1000 times she wished she had gone someplace where she didn't know so many people. Would it make sense for her to NOT consider the makeup of a group?
Not every mother daughter relationship is the same. Some girls tell everything to their friends. She talked about everything with me. She is not only my daughter, she is my friend.
If your mother doesn't even know you are considering recruitment at this stage of the game, I think it's safe to assume she plays a different role in your life WHICH IS GREAT, WHATEVER WORKS! So, with that in mind and a bit more insight, YOUR mother can help you if you let her.
What was the last thing I told my daughter? The choice is yours, I want you to be happy, go where your heart leads you. It all worked out in the end.
