First, I basically told her they had both lost their ever-loving minds. (I did try to say it nicely, though). I must have offended her by suggesting that her girl might get dropped by her chosen Fab Four because she has not gotten back in touch. Which is fine because I wasn't adding her to the group anyway. Not with that haughty, narrow-minded attitude.

It does seem to be a PNM trend this year to announce on social media the specific sororities they're open to accepting bids from.
And not to be catty (well yeah I am), I would love ringside seats when momma and snowflake get a rude awakening

She's missed the GKAP deadline, and I don't feel inclined to help someone who is going to discount 5/7 of the terrific chapters at my alma mater.
I don't blame you! I wouldn't put my name on that hot mess of a PNM

I tried to tell her it was vital at the school, but got the eyeroll. I could just hear her thinking, "OMG you old bag, stuck in the past with your white gloves, cotillions and RECOMMENDATIONS!" Shrug. Hope it works out for her. Bless her heart.
Definitely bless her heart. I am coming over to watch them get pimpslapped. I will bring the hot kettle corn
