Are you really going to be able to "explain" to a sister why her daughter/sister/grand daughter just isn't cut out to be an XYZ? Yeah, No. Just keep it short and simple. I've even seen, "She didn't have the grades." turn into a war when the alum didn't think it through that keeping the legacy past the first party was leading the girl on.

Yup. I had to make some of these calls last year. I actually wrote down what I wanted to say before I even made the call (which is pretty much what I said above). I didn't have any Moms or sisters ask too many questions, but if they do, then it just becomes an "I'm sorry, I can't discuss membership selection with you".

It is not as if arguing with me is going to make the chapter change it's mind.
