How do I tell my mother I do not want to go through recruitment?

[DoctorD]

I will concur. Go through recruitment. It hurts nothing.

My mother insisted I go through [she's also a Delta Delta Delta], and I did to appease her.

While I didn't end up pledging her sorority, I found one that fit me, and have gone on to be very active in it, which amuses my mother to this day. Putting aside my teenage "I know better than my mother what is a fit for me" in this instance turned out to be one of the best things I ever did.

If you go through recruitment and don't feel it's for you, then you know. Otherwise, you never will.

It hurts nothing, and in the grand scheme of things is a small investment in your time.

Good luck.
