I want to believe this was a situation that the family had been dealing with for quite a while. I have a hunch at the point that mom went to HQ to discuss the situation, the girls grades may have been being affected, etc.
We as parents send our children off to college & we try to allow them to learn, grow, & mature - but there are plenty of times when they still need guidance, a shoulder to cry on, & someone to step in & help.
Sometimes 18 to 21 year old girls need their mothers more then 14 yr olds do...& until you are mother of one - Please do not be so quick to judge a mother's choice to assist her daughter if she was crying for help. (if the girl accusations are correct or not) (once a mother cat - always a mother cat )

Yeah. But where do you draw the line? I think her mother should have advised her to drop out or call Sigma HQ herself. Driving an hour and a half to Sigma to discuss private chapter business is IMHO way to much. Is she going to go to her daughter's work and take it up with her boss when she doesn't like how things are going in her daughter's professional life? There are appropriate ways for a parent to help a child and inappropriate ways. Going to her sorority HQ was inappropriate.
