I didn't mean to call and give her SSN and Student ID, just call as a parent of a child at Auburn, just to set aside any questions that you might have, and I think as a 'mommy' if you wanted you certainly should. Anyway, I was only making a suggestion, knowing how much the other 'mommy' is hurting for her daughter right now.

I'd make the call, in a generic way, as was suggested. If her daughter is tearful, the last thing she'd want to do is risk being told by Panhellenic that "you're too late" or "all groups doing COB have filled their spots", etc. Maybe it's the old journalist in me, but I'm all about gathering the facts and presenting them to her so she can make an informed decision and act on it. I'm not a helicopter mom by any means, but now is not the time to tell her she's on her own.
