I unknowingly gave off the impression that I was only interested in AOII from day 1. Not a good idea. Just having a legacy on your application is not going to hurt you at the vast majority of schools unless they include Bama, Georgia or any other big SEC school. Those recruitments are completely different!
P.S. If asked about your mother, stress that she wants you to be happy at the chapter that is right for YOU!

There's a huge difference between having an in-house active sister and a mom who graduated 18 years ago. Right or wrong, the assumption is the PNM wants to pledge where here sister is.
