advice

So I'm looking for some honest advice here. My mom was in a sorority at USC, and it's one that I'm definitely interested in for rush this fall. However, she dropped her sorority. She pledged her sophomore year and dropped that spring. Should I avoid even brining up this topic during any rush conversations because of the bad stigma surrounding girls dropping their sorority?

I don't really see a point in bringing it up. If you fill out the legacy form, then your legacy house will know you're there and that's all that matters. With the conversations you'll be having it won't have any reason to be brought up.
That being said just remember that the recruitment process is about finding the house that's best for you. I don't know why your mom dropped, but I'm happy you're still keeping that house in mind. Just remember to be open to every house and I'm sure you'll find a good home.

Thanks for responding! I know it's different for each house, but would my moms time in her sorority still qualify me for legacy status since she was only active for a year?

I honestly don't know. She would have definitely had to have been initiated first. But as for her dropping, I'm not sure if that affects legacy status. You would have to look into it.

If someone drops, that tends to take away any legacy relation for their siblings/kids. I wouldn't claim legacy status or bring it up, but honestly that won't hurt you. Be yourself, genuinely want to be part of Greek life for the right reasons, and you WILL find your home.
