How Moms Should Treat Their Legacy Daughters

It's ridiculous! I think there is a huge generation gap going on and that mom's arent understanding (or remembering or refusing to remember) that membership selection cannot be told to them, and it's nothing against them or their daughter that they were cut.

Whoever runs the ADPi page politely responded with the "too many legacies to meet quota" only to be attacked by the moms saying it's a silly excuse.

I wish there was a way to help them understand about how the system works in today's times. ADPi has published articles regarding these issues, but moms seem to disregard it until their baby girl gets cut and then all hell breaks loose! It's just sad to see these grown women bashing their sorority and trying to encourage PNMs not to pledge ADPi because "legacies aren't treated fairly."

I just had to go check that out, and some of those moms obviously have no idea what "quota" and "total" are. Oh and the one whose daughter joined another group, and then dropped out? "We backed her 100% joining the other group" my foot.

That whole discussion needs to go on "Oh @$#* my mom joined Facebook" or whatever that site is called.

I had to check this out.

Geez, you make an announcement about an elelctronic RIF or something inane and that's what it turns into?

One particular woman (the "my daughter had 15-20 recs" lady") makes me want to stab my eyeballs out everytime I read one of her comments.

I agree. and I'm not familiar with the NPC and recs but isn't 15-20 recs a bit of overkill (i'm assuming she meant they were all ADPi recs)?
What about the "I just hope that they attend a college that the ADPi chapter is worth pledging!" lady? Way to disrespect your own sisters.

Yes.

Example:

"So many outstanding women go through and yet quota is set SO LOW that they have no chance at getting a bid."

Um, what?

I would really like to know where some of these people's kids go to school.

I mean, the whole "more legacies than spots" thing is really only present at a SMALL handful of schools.

I'd like to think that all of our orgs make a good effort to pledge legacies whenever possible.

If you were an ADPi alumna and you read this FB thread thing, you seriously would think that your daughter had no chance in hell of getting a bid to ADPi as a legacy (and that ADPi had some sort of secret vendetta against them). Sheesh.
