That might or might not work, depending on how the sorority does MS - you might not know until the end of MS who will be invited and who will be cut. To make up a silly example, let's say that according to the RFM, you can invite 150 women, and you choose by writing down the names of all the PNMs at your last round and throwing them into a hat and picking out 150 names. Until the 150th name is drawn, you won't know if Suzie Legacy is getting invited.

Anyway, personally, I don't think I'd be sick with worry about my hypothetical future daughter getting cut from AEPhi. Just because AEPhi was right for me doesn't mean it would be right for her, and I'd want her to follow her own heart.

I think the reason I'd be upset not to get a call is because I have always understood the policy to be that I would receive a call if my legacy was cut. It's not that I necessarily think that my sister is perfect for DG, for example, but I would be upset not to get a call if she was dropped by a DG chapter because my understanding is that I would get one in the event of that.

I think that's where a lot of women are coming from when it comes to saying they'd expect a call... not that they'd necessarily expect their sister/daughter to be bidded, just that they'd expect their sorority to follow policy if policy dictated a call.
