First off, being a moderator has nothing to do with "tone." Moderators are all different and we all communicate differently. That includes regional differences. Sorry if it isn't what you're used to in day to day life, but that's how the Internet works.
Her response was hardly harsh - she was simply speaking in a straightforward manner so you didn't get any wrong impressions. Here on GC, we have MANY MANY MANY mothers of prospective sorority members who think that legacy status is enough to secure a bid - never mind that they've been completely out of touch with their sorority since graduation day and have no idea how recruitment, pledging and most especially the role of legacies in sororities have changed. They don't bother to help their daughters do the homework that's necessary to get ANY bid at a competitive campus and then come on here yelling that XYZ has completely forgotten its alumnae and what sisterhood means and that they'll never donate again (even if they never donated once to begin with).
If this isn't you don't take offense. If it is you, well...yeah.
