However, she was from out of state. Now, her mother's family was from Mississippi and she was a chapter legacy to one of the "Mississippi" houses. She had recommendations from many Mississippi alumna of this chapter as well. But she did not get in - I think she was cut right before preference - and was crushed. Not so much because she wanted this house (she did love the house) but more so because so much emphasis had been put on this particular house my her mother's family. They have many generations of this sorority in the family. Turns out that she joined the group that "her heart" preferred.

This happens a lot. But it's usually for the best. I'm sure your friend is much happier. You always hear rumors too that many of the "Mississippi houses" don't always get to choose the girls they want to be members because their alumna take over. I don't know if this is true though. I know our house isn't that way.
