Legacy was released - Sad Momma!

[ZetaWJC]

So here's the short story. I have been fighting the urge to post here for many reasons but I have to admit that there are so many strong women in this forum that I have come to value their insight on many of the topics discussed.

I am hoping someone may be able to guide me through this. My daughter just finished a successful rush at a competitive SEC school - Arkansas. She is now a very proud AOII. So happy for her and ultimately believe that the process worked. She kept an open mind and ended up in a great new home.

Here is the twist to this story. She is a legacy to 2 other sororities that have chapters at Arkansas. Although she kept an open mind she was crushed that both legacies released her after the 2nd parties. My concern is that I spent many hours writing rec letters for all of her friends and 90% of the girls that I recommended pledged the sorority that my daughter was a legacy to and my daughter was cut. Not only that but they are all the girls she hangs out with and it was truly a blow to her ego. Her resume was more impressive than most of the girls I wrote rec letters for. Additionally, several of the girls had no rec letters and received bids.

I have taken the high road through this process but I must say that I am disappointed and feel a bit let down by my sorority. I will be the first to admit that I have not been an active alumna, but this feels almost like I am being penalized through my daughter.

Do I have a right as an alumna to find out what went down with the process or do I let it go? Again, she is one happy AOII and is thrilled that they want her and she wants to be there. It was just a very emotional and stressful week for her and I just didn't have any answers for her.

Anyone out there want to weigh on on this?

AOII Momma and PROUD!
