Which sororities are very active at Western/SW schools?

I don't expect you to believe me because your intent seems more to harass me, but my daughter and I sat down to write that Yahoo post together. She had the questions, wondered about colleges and the necessity of retaking the SAT, and I suggested posting it online. We worked together, side by side on the computer, that day.

It literally amazes me (meant nicely) that you think a student would try to "pose" as a Mom/student alternately or otherwise on this forum. What would be the advantage? Why wouldn't my daughter just be herself on this forum and yet remain anonymous as most students do? What's to gain from acting like a Mom if I'm not?

We're very close with our daughter. I'm not going to apologize for that because my husband and I are very proud she's grown up as a lovely, giving, intelligent, and pure-hearted young woman.

However, I have given up trying to convince you that I'm a Mom.

Thank you very much to all the women who helped me so graciously in the style of true sisterhood.

Google isn't stalking. Going to the Department of Health and requesting public records is stalking.

How long did it take for you to come up with this post to try to cover your ass? That's the sucky thing about lying. One lie leads to another lie that leads to another lie because eventually you have to put in the effort to cover all bases so that it isn't obvious that you lied in the first place.

A lot of fwap fwaps lie about being PNMs so they can get recruitment information without being labeled a fwap fwap.

Sorry, I'm not buying it either. When someone shows up out of the blue and only initiates posts about status, Greek secrets, Pledged and other things that are generally associated with negative stereotypes of Greeks, I am always going to be suspicious. When "mom" and "daughter" can't seem to keep their stories and identities straight in this and other places online, it only adds fuel to that suspicion.

If indeed this is a mom only, you need to stop being so concerned about your DD's possible Greek affiliation. Like I said in a previous post, you/she needs to concentrate on getting her SAT scores up and enjoying her senior year of high school. You are coming off as someone trying to rewrite their aborted rush and Greek experience through their DD.

And I have to say it. ARITY?

And I guess I'm puzzled why you "and your daughter" would post on yahoo questions when you have no idea who is answering you or what their level of knowledge or authority is. Don't schools have guidance counselors anymore? Your daughter can sit with her counselor, review her stats and assess what she needs for the schools she's interested in. You can justify what you're doing all you want, but like it or not, you are absolutely defining the over-involvement of a helicopter parent. You said in a past post your daughter isn't even thinking about greek life yet so YOU decided YOU need to start doing all the research for her. If she's not that interested, that's her deal. Fwap. Fwap. Fwap.

Collegeboard.com and princetonreview.com might be able to assess your daughter's chances at certain schools. You don't define "more selective", which will mean different things to different people. I think "legacy" status might mean more if said parent donates to the University in question.

USC has a "traditional" Greek experience. Many lovely traditions there.
