I get that your daughter may be hurt by this but there are some things to remember:

*Sorority members are just like REGULAR people. They aren't somehow above possibly saying something that could be perceived as tactless.

* People cannot read your daughter's mind or know that she has a pectoral issue before saying things.

*I don't see how this gets posted on a Greek message board. One convo with a member does not reflect poorly on a chapter.

*Your daughter is an adult, and I am certain that she is capable of expressing the fact that she is offended by someone on her own, and does not require mom posting a mesage board about it.

*I think it is a little inappropriate for a mom to be posting about her kid's personal medical issues on a message board.

*Your daughter needs to develop the people skills needed to express her issues with conversations on HER OWN, if she doesn't already have them.

*If she has such a condition, she needs to understand that not everybody is educated about it. I have a disorder, and my sorority sisters have asked me about it, without knowing what it is. I simply look at it as a teachable moment. She should too.

*Kids need to learn to "fight their own' battles in life, whether mommy is offended or not.
