There ya go. When it's your daughter, it's totally different from any other relative. It's hard to explain the depth of the feeling...even when you're prepared, it's difficult.
My chapter was no longer at daughter's school (would could have been a blessing - whst if she didn't like them?!?)...I couldn't believe how jealous I felt at seeing other mothers whose daughters pledged their sorority...that I would not get that experience of pinning my badge on my daughter at initiation. It defied logic.
However...I certainly don't condone chewing out a chapter because your feelings were hurt.
It's like trying to get the PNMs to keep an open mind. They're listening, but they don't really hear you.
