Ya know - sometimes life's not fair and one sibling doesn't get what another one does.

These kids are not ENTITLED for their parents to pay for ANYTHING anymore - school, sorority, and the clothes on their back are THEIR responsibility as legal adults. If this girl wants to be in a sorority bad enough, she may need to get a job (regardless of whether her major prescribes), take out a loan, or forgo this year and work and save all summer and take her chances as a sophomore.

Quit acting like this sorority is this mom's obligation. It's not. She's not a bad mom for choosing to be able to make her mortgage payments rather than fund her daughter's social life.
