Advice for possible re-recruitment at FSU

[Greek_or_Geek?]

Im going to assume you had decent grades and lacked any fatal personality or appearance flaws and that you kept an open mind and got recs to all chapters.

Did your mother drive the chapter out of their minds with contacting them about you before, during and after recruitment? Is it possible your mom wasn't one of the most favorite of alumnae and advisors in the chapter's history? If the other chapters dropped you due to your legacy connections and the chapter was in a position where they didn't want to deal with your mom for four years, your recruitment would have been doomed. Sadly I've seen this scenario play out over and over again.

I agree with your statement, just wonder why the chapter would drop a legacy if they didn't want to deal with her mom. I get that if she had been given a bid, her mom would undoubtedly been around. However now, the chapter has to deal with a pissed off alumna. Not only a pissed off one, but one that has, from what I can gather, been quite influential in the shaping of the chapter the past few years. A war between a chapter and an influential alumna is never good.

Of course, I think the chapter and its members should do what they think is best. It is their chapter to lead. Just seems odd to me such an active alumna of the chapter has her daughter dropped. I just don't think we are getting the whole story.

Why do you assume that her mother is an alumna of that chapter? She said no such thing. Advisor to a chapter does not = chapter alumna (or alumna at all, for that matter).

You're a boy. Sorority recruitment is completely different. You'll never understand it's nuances. Best to stay in your own lane.
