For my chapter, she wasn't DIRECTLY involved. If you broke a rule that was grounds for J-Board (having a guy sleep over), she reported it to the chapter advisor, and it was dealt with within the sorority from then on.

yeah, i'm kind of surprised by people saying the house mother yelled at them for breaking rules.

I'm the house manager and it seems like I'm the one who yells for people breaking rules, lol.

Yes, major house rules being broken would go to standards. I guess what the collegians I worked with were talking about were lesser offenses such as bringing food into the living room or upstairs to bedrooms, propping the back door open, etc. That would be something the Housemother would get on them about.
