Justamom--
Have no fear!!! You know we'll keep you updated. I'm thinking that Greek Affairs will probably put on a seminar about safety considering that Charlotte Murray Pace was greek as well as Christine Moore. They would be stupid not to do that. The president of my chapter and I talked the other night and we're going to go out and buy mace for every sister. You can never be too safe.
I think you as a mother can have a really strong voice in this as well. If you see something around your daughter's apartment that you feel is unsafe...call the management. My mom really disliked the tall shrubs in front of my door. So she is calling the office at my complex to complain. If I were you...I would also complain to LSU about safety on campus. I mean...they just spent $65,000 on a logo we didn't need when they could have increased the amount of street lights we have on campus as well as increase the number of police. I know the murders didn't occur on campus but I will bet money on the fact that this guy is just chomping at the bit for school to start. I think the murders will only increase with the start of school.
I know we're all really uneasy about everything that has happened lately but for some reason I just can't imagine your daughter coming back to school unprepared. With a mom like you...I know she's got a good head on her shoulders. Tell her to use common sense and go with her gut instinct at all times.
