Oh, well if that's the case and this isn't just for pretend, that will not happen. Step away from this idea now.

Oh, I had no idea that that would be so offensive.. seriously! Is it still seen as disrespectful if it's a tiny group that will get no public viewing? I wish someone would have just said "wow! You know, even though it's just two of you, I think a sorority may be offended if you have the same letters!" That might have come across a little better..

Yes, it is offensive because you're just kind of doing this randomly and not bothering to research in the least. Why don't you just call it the adeleilori and little girl club? Why does everything have to have Greek letters attached to it? Those Greek letters we wear are not just for fun or a joke, they MEAN something to us.

Yes. Not only is it offensive, it is patently ridiculous. I cant tell people I'm a doctor cause I didn't go to med school, so I don't have a MD I can use after my name. I wasn't in the military, so I can't say I have a silver star. You weren't initiated into whatever group you decide to pick out of a hat, so you can't say you were.

LOL! oh no, complete oppostie actually.. which is why this is such a stretch for me! But I know SHE likes that, so I am willing to do it for her..

I would be concerned if my mom would do this much for me and I'm in college. My mom would tell me to get over myself and find something else to do with my time aka focus on my education. Another question, how old is your daughter?

You home school your daughter, correct? So she's with you pretty much 24/7. Not sure how much closer you can get, unless you pop her back into your uterus.

Got my soda, who's in charge of popcorn?

She said she was 9 - which is why I'm not convinced that a NINE year old is interested in a sorority and the mother is being dragged into it.

"You could always AI":rolleyes::p

AZ you want butter or kettle corn?

Call me crazy, but aren't most 9 year olds wanting to be in clubs and such to establish a separate identity from their parents?

I must have over read that. Sorry.

You know, I don't typically like confrontation.. but I'm also a journalist and dont like for replies to go un-answered. But looking over the posts, maybe I just read things like this as a mean statement:

"Eh, if some greek letters on a t-shirt make her feel closer to her daughter, whatever." As insulting, where someone else would have seen them as a compliment or nothing at all. (but typically talking about someone like their not a part of the conversation is seen as rude).

All in all, I just came here for some advice, and instead of people saying "well, using someones letters, even the two of you, will make people upset?" Or asking questions like "Oh, that's different, why do that?" I got a whole slew of (what seemed to me) condiscending "why? seriously? for real?" and "Eh, if some greek letters on a t-shirt make her feel closer to her daughter, whatever." It could have all been my perception, I'm fine with that. It's clearly obvious that I know NOTHING about sorority's, never wanted to be in one, never have been in one, never have even looked into one! But thought it woudl have been neat for my 9 yr old.. this situation was my very first experience with a group of people in sororities and although it was not at all a good one, I'm gonna chalk it up to just THIS place, misunderstanding, whatever.. I'll make sure we emphasis some kindness, and helpfulness in my daughters little group though.. I'll tell her all about this encounter I had, and I'll make sure to find letters that are not being used by anyone!

Thanks ya'll

This website looks like pink threw up. If you're interested in P31, try this one: http://www.proverbs31.org/ My good friend LeAnn is the Executive Director and they are all awesome.

Yes, we are together 24/7, but with her little brothers. I am either working (I work 4 hours from home), which she is doing her independent work, or we are doign school work with the boys, or she is watching them, or doing her chores, or playing with them. Our one on one time is VERY limited with a 4 and 1 yr old around. :)

oh no, not her! She literally CRAVES my attention! It can be a little bit daunting at times, because I am so busy homeschooling the three of them, cooking cleaning, taking care of the 1 yr old and working 4 hours every day from home. lol! The boys dont care as much, but she wants some "no boy" time.. lol!
