They had invited the young woman to everything and she declined and only went to events for the other sorority on campus. I never told her. All three of her daughters went to this other sorority. This alumna still brings it up now and then and I just keep my mouth shut.

Happens in IFC recruitment a lot! Since we're 99% informal rush, legacies will many times not go to their legacy chapter events, or if they get a bid to their legacy chapter, they'll sign a bid with a different group. They will almost always tell their dad/grandfather/uncle that they didn't get a bid from legacy group and chapter advisor gets a rude phone call.
