So much social climbing with this one.

No nastiness on her part?!?! LOLOLOLOLOL
Except where she blatantly called specific houses worthless trash, before she edited her posts... |
Classless.

Why? Because I teach young women every day. Every day I see a teenage girl struggle because she doesn't feel quite good enough. Every day I see a teenage girl skip lunch because she feels if she were five pounds lighter, she might be good enough. Every day I see a girl stay with a boy who treats her less than she deserves because she feels she's the bottom of the bottom and he's popular. Every day I see the effects of labeling and stereotyping and I hate it. My students are more than test scores, they are more than a tier, they are more than what they know. LM, stop spreading and upholding stereotypes. You have not personally met every young women in every chapter at UT. You may think you know, but you have no idea. This comes from a woman in a chapter that was not "top" tier but we had intramural champions, an Indy 500 princess, a pageant girl, several campus leadership positions. We did not care what fraternity boys said or where others felt we belonged on some social status continuum. We had one of the strongest sisterhoods on campus and still do as alumnae. -30- |

The first thing I think of when people mention Alpha Phi at Texas is the 2003 television documentary program Freshman Diaries. As far as I ever saw of that show, the campus Greek system was not mentioned even though it appeared to me (and one had to look very carefully) one young women featured in the show became a new member pledge in Alpha Phi.

You really are something. Just like in the last thread, you don't know when to stop. Comrades True nailed it: shallow, indeed. |
There's a difference between knowing something and hearing it said and seeing it written over and over and over and over again. And having it on the internet for people to read it for years to come over and over and over and over again.
If you honestly don't get that and honestly think the way you're conducting yourself is something to be proud of, I don't know what else to tell you. |
Which chapter pledged this woman's daughter?

Is it wrong to feel bad for APhi?
|
LM, I hope you will consider stepping away from the internet. I can't imagine APhi added too many women via COB. You have posted all kinds of identifying information about your daughter. It wouldn't take much for your posts to come to the attention of the chapter, and for the chapter to figure out whose mom you are. I am sure you would feel terrible if your daughter's Greek experience was compromised because of your lack of online judgment. As you yourself have posted, UT is exceptionally competitive, so a chapter can't allow one of its own members (via her mother) to cause embarrassment or unwanted attention. Even your posts supporting your daughter's pledgeship are overbearing. I am glad that you are excited for your daughter, but you are unintentionally bringing discredit to Alpha Phi and your daughter could pay the price for that. I am sure you think everyone on here is just being mean to you, but I post this out of genuine concern.

It makes me angry that someone who would drop out of recruitment after being left with options originally considered "less than" would then accept a bid from one of them. It's disgusting and offensive to me. |
What I find particularly funny is Longhorn Mom's commentary on every subject under the sun related to greek life (such as recommending where a national shouldn't colonize) when she herself was not greek.

FYI - Lake is a Tri Delta. That was the chapter your daughter aspired to; in case you didn't know, I have a killer memory. Another surprise: I also had the foresight to save the thread you started back in August. Oh yeah. Uh huh. And I actually know far more about Texas than you could even imagine. Your assumptions have tripped you up on that, too. Know what I think? I think YOU have proven beyond any doubt that you have major major major issues, including (but not limited to) an inferiority complex the size of Alaska. You were the one who outed your daughter. lol, indeed. Not. Now just flounce and stop before you torpedo your daughter completely. Because that post you made on Greek Rank was atrocious. Just atrocious. And unlike GC it's not possible for you to edit or delete. Oh, and for the record: don't even think about AI for APhi, because your behavior here has pretty much closed that door for you. |
You know that members of her chapter and alums of the chapter are here reading this, right, Longhorn Mom?
Do your daughter a favor and step away from the keyboard. |
Longhorn Mom..... Everyone's reaction to you has nothing to do with jealousy, bitterness, or obsession with rankings.
It has everything to do with the fact that you are rude. You are rude, and you are a snob, and maybe you can get away with that where you are, but there's a world outside of Austin, honey, and it would do you well to learn how to live in it. |
No, not taking shots at your daughter. We all know how involved mothers are in the collegiate experience. They are feeling bad for those poor girls having to deal with the crazy mom who won't let it go. Let ANYTHING go. Who thinks she deserves input on the colors used for spring formal or which fraternity they partner with at homecoming. Because yes, we've all seen it before.

1. I belong to a group that is considered top 3 at UT 2. I attended an academically selective university that I chose OVER going to UT. 3. Therefore, I am not angry or jealous. There is nothing for me to be jealous of you or your daughter. 4. You are utterly sabotaging your daughter's college experience. That is the point so many are trying to make. (Well that and that you are a shallow social climber, but I digress). I have no idea if your daughter is the obtuse elitist that you are, but on the chance that she is not then I hope for her sake that you will leave hell enough alone and let her stand on her own two feet. Social status is so important to you? You may very well ruin hers with all these postings. 5. It's utterly shocking that you absolutely can't seem to grasp how out of line your comments are. |

I think you really, really, really need to step away from the keyboard. Permanently. Who's got my soda? I got up to make fresh popcorn. |

I think she meant genteel. But it was a funny slip.
