Well, I wasn't the one who started it, they were. I never lied, in fact I was so truthful about it. I could have easily lied and said she was my mum or something, but I was truthful and they were still mad. It was miscommunication, but a year later the sorority still gives me dirty looks.

I'm really confused - who are "they"? The sorority? Panhel? Any rush applications I've seen ask not just if you are a legacy, but to what group and through who (i.e. my mom was a KKG, my sister was a DZ etc). Anytime I've met someone at rush who was a legacy they usually just said "my mom was a KD" or whatever. Point being is that I don't understand why anyone would be mad if you said straight out that your Greek connection was through your aunt.
