will i know if i got dropped?
by: PNM
Let's say I have five houses for Sisterhood, and rank them A, B, C, D, E. Tomorrow I get back A, B, D. Obviously C dropped me, but will I know if E dropped me as well, or if I just didn't get them because I ranked them last and three above them picked me for Pref?
Obviously if I only get back less than three, and E isn't one of them, then that would be obvious that I got dropped. I'm asking because I was going to tell my Mom tonight that I ranked my legacy house last, but now that I think about it, maybe I should wait to see what happens tomorrow, because if they cut me, then I can tell her that instead.
Did that make any sense? I've told her I would make my own decisions, but she still REALLY wanted me to end up in my legacy house.

You won't know if they aren't on your schedule because they released you or because your pref schedule filled up before their invitation. BUT- depending on which group - your mom might know that her chapter did not release you if she didn't get a call tonight. I don't know every chapter's policy regarding legacies but my chapter has to call the legacy's relative and let them know she'll be released in the AM before every round. I've heard that occasionally legacies will cut us and tell their moms/ sisters that we cut them and then that's an awkward phone call that mom/sister makes to the house when they find out the legacy lied to them....
You're doing the right thing by following your heart but don't do the wrong thing by lying to your mom.

Thanks to everyone for the information and advice! Just an FYI, I never intended to lie to my mom, I just figured that I'd wait until this morning to see what happened before I said anything. She already knew that I wasn't super excited about my legacy house, but she wanted me to give them every chance.
As it turns out, I ended up with A, B, and C, which I'm thrilled for. I don't know if E dropped me or I dropped them, but my Mom didn't get a call from anyone. I did call my Mom this morning to let her know that E wasn't an option anymore, and she took it okay. She does want me to be happy, but she really wanted me to be happy in E. Pretty sure she'll be fine. I have a little sister, so she's got another shot. Haha.
Thanks again! I've had one party already, and two this afternoon. Ranking is going to be hard, but it's a good problem to have!

No one should think you are ungrateful. You followed your heart and didnt see yourself in your legacy house. Nothing wrong with that at all. Good luck!! As long as your happy I am sure your mom will be happy for you.
