Im going to assume you had decent grades and lacked any fatal personality or appearance flaws and that you kept an open mind and got recs to all chapters.
Did your mother drive the chapter out of their minds with contacting them about you before, during and after recruitment? Is it possible your mom wasn't one of the most favorite of alumnae and advisors in the chapter's history? If the other chapters dropped you due to your legacy connections and the chapter was in a position where they didn't want to deal with your mom for four years, your recruitment would have been doomed. Sadly I've seen this scenario play out over and over again.
