Then you could do some sort of appreciation skit for the moms, grandmas, whoever else attends and give them a rose or whatever the fraternity flower is.
You gotta get moms at their hearts -- they cry when you start kindergarten, they cry at assemblies, they cry when you start college, when you get married, etc. But they ESPECIALLY cry when they are appreciated.
I'm tellin you.... a rose and a tear-jerking song and she will never give you a hard time again.  |
Thats a great idea and so true at the same time and I know that to my mom being apart of a family, no matter what kind of family that is, is extremely important to her, she just has a bad case of empty nest i think, I know we are talking about revamping our parents weekend, the only problem is convincing my mom to come up for the weekend lol

and to answer the other question, I give my mom a hug almost everyday I am not upset at her for having her feelings, I would just like her to see the many good things about greek life, and I will make sure i go up to her right now and tell her how much i love her and respect her opinion and what a wonderful mother she is as soon as im done typing this, ill even wake her up lol, but i will also tell her that i am certainly capable of making my own decisions, after all she is the one who raised me, that should help lol
