Painful, painful, especially since you saw so many of her friends pledge her legacy house. It has to hurt. Cry if you need to, but then take the high road. You did absolutely the right thing helping other girls get recs and find their homes. I agree with the poster above--lots of times it is the luck of the draw as to the actives who are your hostesses.

Enjoy the opportunity to be an AOPi Mom and throw yourself into the world of pandas, red roses and a brand new, thriving chapter with a stunning house. Start to consider which gorgeous jeweled AOPi pin you are going to buy her for initiation. It hurts now, but it will get a LOT easier as you see her love her sorority. Now your granddaughters will be legacies to two organizations.

Ooh, maybe she should go look at the Badge Trends thread? So many lovely jeweled Alpha Omicron Pi Badges there.

Oh yes there are. I was lucky enough to see AOII Angel's badges yesterday- they are simply stunning! And if you splurge for a badge with rubies, everyone will fawn over it for many years to come. That would be a fantastic surprise for her when she is initiated if she is a jewelry lover in any way!

I'm sure this is a frustrating time, and I'm sorry you are going through this. The advice here has been fantastic so I will just echo one sentiment- the only place to go is forward, so start embracing all things AOII and show your daughter how excited you are for her to have found a great home! Plus if she was a legacy to two houses, now you've got three in the family... only 23 left for a full NPC convention
