My daughter and I are very close, she has asked me what to do... I don't know what to tell her. I can tell you she may be better off in the dorm if this is the general attitude now of sorority girls.

It's interesting how we've given you advice. You see, I have been a sorority WOMAN for over 30 years, and thus know how things have changed in no small part due to my continued involvement as a member and adviser to both my sorority and NPC alumnae groups, involvement which has been noted and even, said at the risk of being immodest, recognized and awarded. I moved on from college, went to graduate school, had a family (4 children - 1 a Gamma Phi), friends . . . by the amount of posts we have, you could say that we are obviously often off our computers and living lives that include living out our sorority creeds. The amount of posts show that we are, in fact, helping others, a fact you have tacitly acknowledged by your asking for that self same help. You need only look at the many helpful stickied threads to see the effort we go to in order to help young women find their sorority homes.
I certainly hope your daughter has a better attitude than you. No, really, I do. The sins of the helicopter mothers should not be visited on the daughters, and the fact that you became snarky when not given the advice you wanted - well, let's hope she is more gracious should things not go her way. I truly hope she finds her home in a sorority.
