A few years ago at one of our chapters a double leg (mom & grandma) went through, didn't get a bid and m & g went on the warpath. I am guessing the above was close to what happened -the daughter went through, turned her nose up at us then got cut elsewhere and changed her mind. Either that, or she didn't mention her connection at all because she really wasn't interested, and bsed her relatives to make it look like our fault, not hers.
This is not directed toward anyone, but if your sister or cousin is coming through rush and you want her to pledge your chapter, make sure you yourself are on solid footing with the rest of the sorority. It just so happened that with our in-house legs, they were little sisters of girls that everyone absolutely loved and adored or were around enough before pledging to connect with us on their own. I can think of a few women where if the girl had just shown up and the sister said "this is my sister" it could have gotten hairy.
