I don't have a home chapter, because mine closed. Fast forward to 1997 and my oldest was a PNM. I sweat some blood and tears through that recruitment and finally, just before bid cards were signed, said "if being part of the greek system is most important, list all options available.". She didn't. I was part of the volunteer service team at the time, so I was being very panhellenic. She chose to suicide and the next day I was so proud to call her sister. 2 years later, at the same school, daughter #2 went through. I was still panhellenic. She wanted to be an XY. OK, I just stayed out of those conversations and let her talk to her dad. I couldn't be NPC. Next year, # 3 went through. Iwas no longer VST, but would have never suggested that she tell the pres of XY that she didn't care... Now, all three are my sisters. Then came #4. I warned her that she would probably be cut from XY and AB. Why carry her when it was obvious? She is also my sister. The other two did invite her back to pref, still not sure why I helped a lot during those years, but I also gave up my VST position because it was just too awkward to be a mom/alum/VST member. Every year there were hurt feelings because I was at Initiation and their moms were't. The mom's from other GLOs are the best!

I'm really, really confused by this whole post.

Thank you, I thought it was just me (after I read it for the 3rd time). Maybe the OP can clarify?
