I think the OP was saying, would you want to put that pressure (even slight) on your child to join your org. Also, when you're in a group you do know some things about the chapters and you might not want your child to be in that chapter...i.e. if I know a chapter is full of very snobby and materialistic girls (and we all have some) would I want my daughter to be in that chapter of ASA? No.

There are some instances though where the pressure on the child to join the legacy org is tremendous and has very little to do with what is good for the child....it's all about carrying on the legacy...kind of like a child being forced to go into the family business even if they want to do something totally different.

I hope the future 33kids (if such a thing comes to pass, LOL) do whatever makes them happy, whether it's being a member of my sorority, in another sorority, or not Greek at all.
