We had an International Vice President whose daughters both went through recruitment at an extremely competitive southern school while she was in office and it was stressful for everybody. She didn't want to pressure her daughters into becoming Alpha Gams and she didn't want the chapter to feel pressured since she was an International officer. I never asked for details of their recruitment, but I do know they both ended up Alpha Gams.
This is a tough one for me. The only day I can think of that would be more special than the birth of my children would be the day my daughter was initiated into Alpha Gamma Delta. It's a hope and dream of mine, although I wouldn't push it on her. I bleed red, buff and green and can't think of anything more special than having my own daughter be a member. At 12, she is on the right path to living the ideals of our Purpose because she is a straight A student, active in Girl Scouts, band, and yearbook club. She has a lot of friends and has always found a niche wherever she went, even though she's shy when she first meets people. She's a very down to earth girl and, if she doesn't change drastically over the next 6 years, would be a leader and an asset to any chapter. Of course, I'm her mother so I'm biased, but her teachers, Girl Scout leaders, etc. all rave about what a good kid she is, so I have some objective opinions about her too. I would have a hard time if I knew that a group of sisters dropped her from recruitment.
Right now though, she has goals of going to Harvard, so unless we colonize there, it won't be a possibility... Unless we do AI for her...lol.
