Hey Guys,
I have a NM in the chapter I advise whose mother is not cutting the apron strings....AT ALL! I mean is on the phone minutes after the girls classes end to see if she's on her way home. Doesn't want her daughter out after like 8pm on a Friday night, etc. Must give permission before the girl is allowed to do about anything. When it was offered that the NM could spend the night with a sister on late evenings, the mother asked if the sister was a "dike."
I've never used or spelled that word before so I'm not sure is it's right. Talk about shocking though!!!! I mean, my God!
Over the summer parents letters were sent out and information about campus sorority life (money, time constraints, everything) was sent to all PNM's. The mother met the sisters during Orientation days and was given the entire speal. Mother said she could join a sorority and the NM was thrilled. Now she's making it so hard the girl is thinking about quitting just to get mommy-dearst off her back. The chapter literally meets one day a week....that's it. If there's an event it's on that day. They have no house, no chapter room. I barely have to worry about risk mgmt. Hell, there's 9 of them in the entire chapter!
Daddy has no power in the family....mom wears the pants. However, he is excited that the NM is meeting girls and has people who want to hang out.
I know mom's have a hard time letting go....my mom did, but she would have never stopped me from pursuing an activity like a sorority. Any advice from other mom's or dad's out there????? Help!!!
