Um....lol, I hate to tell you, but a lot of people drink in college. It doesn't mean that everyone in the chapter or school does, but it's a BIG part of American collegiate culture and well, American culture as well.

I think it's pretty wrong to judge an entire chapter so harshly based on the actions of just a few members. It's not like they forced beer down her throat or told her she had to drink or she couldn't pledge; they were just making references (inappropriate as they may be). I do feel bad your daughter felt so uncomfortable, but at the same time, she's going to encounter this kind of thing throughout her collegiate experience and her adult life as well.

I really hope your daughter does not DA for that reason, because in my opinion it's a pretty weak one. Being in a sorority is about SO SO much more than that.

If she's the upset one, why are you posting about it?

She's bound to this sorority for a year. Instead of encouraging her to make snap judgements during a very emotional time, why not trust HER judgement that you've raised her to be prudent and responsible, and encourage her to get to know her new sisters?
