How Moms Should Treat Their Legacy Daughters

[Amicus]

A woman that I am friends with pledged ABC sorority back in the day. She had hoped her daughters would follow in her footsteps. But just because she had a positive experience as an ABC, it didn't mean that her daughters would

The oldest daughter went off to college, not her mother's alma mater. While she was going through rush, her mother called to get an update. The mother asked her daughter if she had been to the ABC house yet. The daughter said yes, but without enthusiasm. The mother asked what was wrong with the ABC house. Her daugher said that the ABCs had the reputation, deserved or undeserved, as the campus sluts. The young woman pledged DEF sorority.

Second daughter goes off another college. During rush her mother calls for an update. The mother asks about ABC sorority. Her daughter said that she visited the house but had a miserable time. She said that she was treated well since she was a legacy, but noticed how poorly the non-legacies in her rush group was treated. She added that the ABC on her campus had a reputation of being the most uptight, most prim and proper (prissy even), most conservative sorority on campus. The young woman had wished there was a DEF chapter on campus, but there wasn't one. She ended up joining XYZ.

My friend's youngest daughter did go to her parents' alma mater and pledged ABC. She had a superlative experience as an ABC.
