How do I tell my mother I do not want to go through recruitment?

Come on... She is a triple legacy to THAT chapter with a sitting sister in the house. That's pretty special.

I think she just means that I won't be the ONLY girl to be a legacy and that couldn't be any more true. I won't be the first or only, which is why Alabama recruitment is super competitive and I think most of the girls are legacies.

I didn't really mean to come across as I think I'm special for that, I just think the whole situation makes it worse on how I feel. It would be one thing if my mom was trying to live through me and make me go through recruitment, but I'm her second and last daughter and I know how happy she was when my sister went through recruitment and received a bid for DDD.

I mean, Preview Day is on March 24 and maybe my mind will change then, but as of now if it doesn't I don't want to drag everyone along.

Is her sister a sitting member at all three schools she mentioned that she has been accepted to? That IS pretty special.

She doesn't say where her sister is a member. Here's what she said:

She and my grandmother are Alumnae of Delta Delta Delta at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and my sister is an active member of Delta Delta Delta.

OP - Either go through recruitment or don't. We are all members of GLOs, so we think you should at least give it a shot. Telling your parents that you don't want to do something that they want you to do is something you're going to have to learn how to do as an adult.

I should have been clearer with my situation.
I was accepted into Alabama, Ole Miss and TCU but my sister is currently a DDD at Alabama.
Going to another uni was never really an option for me.
My whole family is all about Alabama haha and growing up around Tide fans makes you really want to go there. I just brought that up...I'm not sure why.
