My mom thought this way when I went through recruitment. My mom never pressured me into joining her org. She wanted me to go to the house I best fit with. For a while, LOTS of people thought I was going to go the Legacy route.

For me.. I have the hardest time fathoming that parents get this way. (The parent only willing to pay for a specific org.) Maybe its because Greek Life isn't the same in New England as it is in the South. *shrug*

As for our chapter, when we find out we have a legacy (which isn't all too often) we try to make an extra effort to make her feel welcome and to get to know her. But also, we do explain that just because she is a legacy doesn't guarentee her a bid.
