How Moms Should Treat Their Legacy Daughters

It may also have been that she would have rather walked across hot coals than spend another minute let alone 4 years with the chapter of your group at her school, and she didn't want to convey this to you. If a rushee came up to me and said "I don't think this is the chapter for me but my mom is an alumnae and is set on it" you can bet that I'd bring that up during voting and you can bet everyone would probably try to help her out by cutting her.

You have a very vivid imagination. But, no.

She loved the house. They would have been the same or better if she were there, too. (Based on photos, activities, and what she would have contributed via GPA, etc.)

Get in the wayback machine of your mind and pretend it's 1982 and you're an active collegiate member. Now read what you just wrote and tell me how it would make you feel about her, her daughter, and alumnae and legacies in general.

If you're that unhappy, talk to a professional. To get this upset over your daughter not joining your sorority is unhealthy.

I realize bakd has gone . . . flouncing and all . . . but let me point out:

WE DO NOT AND CANNOT KNOW IF BEING A LEGACY IMPACTED YOUR DAUGHTER'S RECRUITMENT.

I am a legacy who was cut by one of her legacy sororities. It never occurred to my legacy member to hyperbolically predict the end of the sorority system.

I have been involved in alumnae panhellenics long enough to know that MANY very active alumnae have daughters who are not in their mothers' sororities. They, however, are more concerned about their daughters' happiness then in some perceived "payoff" they are owed.

Obviously, I am the poster child for multi-generational sorority membership, and I love having my mother and my daughter as sisters. HOWEVER, I would be thrilled if my daughter were a member of any of the other 25 NPC members, and would still have that special NPC bond with her.

As much as you don't want to hear or believe it, what's done is done. You can't change what happened, so let it go. You say your daughter is happy - that's what is most important. This is HER Greek experience now, NOT YOURS. And stalking FB pages to "count legacies"? Yeesh.
