Hello! New and Needing help! :D (Mother/Daughter sorority)

[amIblue?]

I call BS on journalism and college. This is just plain weird.

Maybe you could let your daughter have some friends outside your home and you wouldn't need to make up a club for her.

Yes, I am mean and rude, but I also have a close and very special relationship with my daughter. She can choose to join a sorority when the appropriate time comes if she wishes.

lol! That's actually what I got, a BS in Journalism from Georgia State University, witha concentration in Public Relations, after which I went on to work for an independent PR specialist (I erased her name as to not have this thread pop up in google searches for her company), then on to work for Interface, Inc. in marketing, before coming home to be with my kids.. is that enough info. for you. If you want a copy of my diploma, just ask, we can arrange that! ha!

See, i don't mean to get upset like that, but when people say things like that, and don't even know me.. it's enough to tick me off! So, If I offended you, I'm sorry!

If you read the thread, you would have seen us discuss this already. I stated that she HAS been in many groups outside of the home! but she is CRAVING more mommy time, in a house where we are the only 2 girls, and she spends most of her days with her brothers.

Not sure why you would be proud of being mean and rude. I'm not! and I don't intend to be, but fall into that when I feel I have to defend my self against what I feel to be unnecessary attack. (like people attacking my TYPOS, when I've been writing a BOOK in my defense ALL day!). I also have a close and very special realtionship with my daughter, which is why she cherishing time with ONLY me, and why i am willing to do soemthign like this for her. If YOU and the last few posters aren't upset about me using greek letters, i'm not sure WHAT you're beef is?? Is it worth getting this upset over what THIS MOTHER is deciding to do for HER daughter? Really?? Or is this a matter of just attacking for the sake of attacking.. it's truly very strange.

I did read the thread. This isn't a mommy blog. Your posts creep me out. I'm not attacking for the sake of attacking, but I wish that I had been as succinct in expressing my thoughts as knight shadow was (to whom you didn't need to respond) who said this: "What a crock of shit."

Good luck with that book you're writing.

I'll be the "meanie" and say it...Wanting a "sorority" with your daughter (as in making one up and not enjoying a legacy situation with her joining the sorority of your collegiate years) = weird and somewhat helicopter-mommy in a sense. It does remind me of the cheerleaders, dance moms, or pageant moms who want to live vicariously through their children.

Coming on to a Greek (sorority and fraternity) website and telling many well-educated people that they continue the tradition of making sorority girls look like airheads makes you look really stupid. Yes, STUPID! If you think there is this tradition of us sorority girls looking like airheads then WHY would you want to make up a sorority for you and your daughter to be able to call yourselves sorority girls? Do you want to be part of that airheaded tradition? You are some piece of work, lady.

First up, yes.. I KNOW the difference between your and you're.. you clearly haven't read the whole thread.. like I said, they are typos, just like the ones you made. But, like I also said, I am typing a LOT, with a squirmy 1 yr old in my lap and typing quickly, so there are typos and I'm not going back to fix them.. I don't have time. I understand you are upset, just reading what has been going on, but you have not had time to read through the whole thread and see the end result.. the mis-understandings that occured.

Secondly, I did NOT say that sorority girls "looking like airheads" is some kind of TRADITION! go back and read what I wrote again. I was simply speaking to the way I thought I had been treated, and said that you all should not ALLOW what OTHER people think to become a reality on this board.

If you read to the end, you will see that these issues have already been resolved, that there were misunderstandings and that most were cleared up.

Is it me or does she sound like a mom that will do ANYTHING so that her daughter can be in a "sorority"? Kind of like that lifetime movie "Willing to Kill".

It sounds more to me like SHE is the one that wants to be in a sorority (we all know those girls who dump on the cheerleaders while secretly wanting to be one). I doubt her daughter cares. The greek letters will probably confuse her more than anything. My daughter just recently quit asking why I have things that say "A E A".

LOL! oh no, complete oppostie actually.. which is why this is such a stretch for me! But I know SHE likes that, so I am willing to do it for her..

I would be concerned if my mom would do this much for me and I'm in college. My mom would tell me to get over myself and find something else to do with my time aka focus on my education. Another question, how old is your daughter?

She said she was 9 - which is why I'm not convinced that a NINE year old is interested in a sorority and the mother is being dragged into it.

oh, I missed this one.. I wouldn't say I'm being dragged.. I just decided to do something for her.. she saw an episode of some show called "greeks" (which she's not allowed to watch at home, by the way!) at a friends house, and ever since has been mesmerized by the idea! LOL! It was her first sight of a sorority, a house, the sisters, the colors, etc.. a 9 yr olds view of it all..lol! A club would do some of the same things though, without the letters, so that'll work too.

Would you really?? You would be "concerned"? That's a bit confusing to me.. why concerned? She's 9 and she's the only girl in a house full of boys.

I posted that before I realized that I over read the sentence about her age.

No one was rude to you, adeleilori, until you got defensive and rude yourself.

To each their own. Have fun with it.

OH, I beg to differ.. a group ranting with sarcastic "WHY?"'s and posting pics of moms and daughters dressed alike in an effort to make fun of their "bonding" is quite rude.

At least try coming up with an original group of letters if you absolutely have to do this. Taking someone else's group name isn't cool.
