No need to be a jerk Fridayyyyy! She actually is still in high school, and I'm just trying to have answers to questions I know she will ask me in the next year or so. It is called being a good mother. Doubt you understand the concept!

Twenty-five years is not so long that you don't know the more effective way to find out about GPAs.

If her gpa is your big worry while princess is still in high school, I have the feeling she's not exactly going to be bringing the strongest package into recruitment. Maybe you should concentrate on the current state of her gpa versus what she will need to attain and maintain sorority membership.

Why are you so rude? It's the internet. She politely asked a question. I don't understand why people are so mean on here. It's unbecoming.

OP came back with an obnoxious response, to be fair. I feel the same way when someone gets jumped on for asking a question, but this was deserved.

I agree with those that suggest the daughter should find these things out herself. I remember going through and though my mother did help me with recs (and wardrobe haha) she made me find out answers to questions like these myself and that was the best way she could have handled it...I was used to asking questions and going to the trouble to find resources on my own before I even got there.

Just in general, members who have been posting on here for years (from what it looks like) want to execute someone for asking a question they don't like or that they think is dumb. Gosh, get over it. People have questions, and honestly its an internet forum...try not to care so much.

When she asks you these questions, say to her, "Try calling the school's Greek Life office. They should give you all of that information," or ask her, "Have you searched for any information online?" Finding out all the answers for her isn't "being a good mother." It's ok to help where she needs it. Give her the phone number to the Greek Life office... Direct her to Greekchat where she can ask questions of other sorority members... But don't do the work for her. If you keep that up, she'll never learn to do these things on her own.



Exactly.

You're right. It is an internet forum. If you don't like it, don't read it.
