I can totally understand where these mom's feelings are coming from and I'm not even a mom. You just want what's best for your child, and if your child really, really wants to be in a sorority and they have a horrible recruitment it's going to hurt your heart.
That being said, OMG when I have kids and if I get a girl, I can't imagine her going to an SEC competitive recruitment. As a mom (and greek) I might just lose my damn mind. LOL.
Forget it, she'll be going to a state school. I know that U of A, ASU and NAU recruitment isn't as competitive as an SEC school.
