Okay, that is BEYOND allowing her daughter to be in a sorority. That is a mom not allowing her daughter to live her life.

I've been noticing more and more lately that today's parents are just way overprotective. About every little thing.

Is this the NM's first semester in college? Maybe her mom just needs to get used to the idea that her daughter is capable of taking care of herself.

Either way, it sounds like something this NM needs to work out on her own. Encourage her to not quit by not talking bad about the mom, or making comments about, "I don't understand why your mom won't let you do this..." -- just let her know that you'll be there for her whatever happens. The last thing you want is to make her feel that she has to choose between the sorority and her mom.
