i think the topic is right on, and oh so timely, with some recruitments having already been completed, others taking place right now and others commencing in the coming weeks.

If she had wanted to spread rumors-how can it be a rumor if you are an eye witness?-she would have named names.

^^^yep this. In fact, I just sent a note to my board to remind the Chapter that they are not to talk about any aspect formal recruitment in public at all and that includes complaining.

If you don’t think scurrying to the internet to gossip about what you say you overheard some members of a chapter talking about is being overly involved with your dd, then there’s no hope for you. No matter what your fellow hovering fwapfwaps here have to say.

I sincerely hope your daughter does not become the second Texas PNM to have her recruitment torpedoed by her mother’s behavior here.

Oh, take a freaking chill pill. If she had named the sorority she encountered it would have been gossip. She didn't. I think it's pretty clear to everyone but you what her intent was. She's a concerned alumna reminding collegians to watch what they say in public.

If that's a threat, you really need to get a life.

Scurry---to move around in an agitated, confused, or fluttering manner. Let me clarify; when I logged onto Greek Chat this afternoon, I was not agitated, confused or fluttering......

Secondly, my daughter has NOTHING to do with this. I was not at lunch with her, I was not in downtown Austin for her, I was at lunch with my HUSBAND. My perspective came from the active/alum standpoint. If I did not have a daughter at UT this year, would you even have called this out? I have no idea where you went to school, what letters you wear or what your motives are. I can only control my own behavior and I know my motives were honest and clean, and my post was intended to serve as a reminder to everyone involved in recruitment to honor their creeds, their sisterhood and to behave with integrity. If you feel this is..."fwapfwap" then so be it.

I have no children, so kindly try not to make a blanket accusation about me being a heli-mom. I've read and lurked and sometimes posted on GC for a very long time, and I've seen my share of heli-parents. This is not one of those situations. This is not gossip mongering, or being overly involved in a daughter's recruitment. I think you need to take a step back here, because *your* comments are the most inappropriate thing about this thread.

OP, your post was timely and spot on, and a good reminder for all the sorority women who are actively participating in recruitment at the moment. Thank you for that.

For the life of me, I can't begin to see how it has anything to do with her daughter. At all.

I was with you on a certain other Texas mom, but on this one, I really think you need to give a rest.
