It isn't ideal nor is it "right" but it's how the "real world" is.
I do agree that musicmom's daughter has every reason to be irritated if she really is innocent. I am sure, however, she simply complained to her mom in passing and didn't expect her to actually attempt to DO anything about it.
After all, I have complained to my mother, just in conversation, about things both in my chapter and currently, in medical school. I would have been beyond mortified if my mother had decided to take those simple pieces of conversation and post them on a message board for all the world to see.

I just don't see anything wrong with her and her friends who are innocent attempting to talk to the powers that be in the chapter. It might be how the "real world" works and yes, sororities are definitely supposed to help you prepare for that, but it
is a sisterhood.
Agree that it would be very inconvenient for me had my mother talked piblically about all the things I coplained to her about in the years I was an active. She was my sounding board when I was frustrated since she is Greek and could offer objective advice (one example: Stop sweating the small stuff and remember this is a group of 18-22 year old women. They WILL behave childishly at times, and
so will you. That was a good thing to remember.)
