I don't think we can actually know this, and I think it's petty to make these kind of claims.

Carnation picked four names for a thread; we have no way of knowing if a real GLO corresponds to each or not in Carnation's mind at this point. Pretending that you understand her intentions better than she does is kind of nutty.

And about not wanting her daughter to join a certain group, if I remember the story correctly, the real life basis for this was a daughter who de-pledged and re-rushed rather than continue her bid with a chapter that ended up folding while the daughter was in school. The daughter got a bid the next year to a chapter that's still going strong.

I suppose that everyone is free to judge and say that the daughter should have stuck in out with the chapter. However not wanting your kid to join a specific chapter that's already having membership issues and thinking that entire GLO are below her family's worth are hardly the same thing.
