I would think that would be a very difficult job, to call a hopeful mother and give her the bad news. I do agree it probably depends on which chapter you are a legacy of. And it may make a difference if you were a legacy from IU vs. another chapter...

I did not get a call last year, and I was an IU grad so my daughter was a legacy to that specific chapter. In fact, I did not receive a response to an email to the chapter advisor after recruitment, even though I had previously met her and had exchanged one email with her in the fall.

I think most groups do not call anymore because they feel it is an invasion of privacy for the PNMs. They are adults and can share with their family what they choose. I think advisors also aren't really supposed to share anything regarding membership selection, but it would have been nice to get an acknowledgement that they were sorry it did not work out. I did get an email invite to initiation (at my chapter, not my daughters)! I decided to pass . . . :-)

Honestly, I am not bitter. Still a little disappointed, but I am still active in my local alumnae club where I have been an officer for about 25 years. It is a great group and my daughter's sorority is also a great organization.
