We don't like it when our child falls victim to their legacy deciding our child isn't right for THEM- double edged sword!

Very true.
Although I knew there was very little chance our son would rush, I visited the Delt House when I took him to the campus at the beginning of his freshman year.
Being a division officer, I knew that the chapter was having some problems with the Central Office -- even though it was/is one of our bigger chapters.
While I had a very pleasant chat with one of the brothers who happened to be at the house, and while the facility itself is very impressive, my talk and a look at the shelter, composites and other factors pretty well convinced me that our son probably wouldn't fit in well -- even if he were interested.
As we all know, different chapters of the same fraternity can vary greatly from school to school.
This comment is NOT meant to be an indictment of that particular chapter -- I simply mean to point out that one particular kid would probably have been out of place there.
