I need help to try and stop my mom from harrassing me about my fraternity

I'm confused. How does an ex-gf not pledging have something to do with you getting a 3.0 and not a 3.4?

I think he meant that the ex-girlfriend affected his grades; pledging did not. Not "my ex-girlfriend didn't pledge, so I only got a 3.0." Right?

You've said you are the first in your family to go to college so obviously you're the first to go Greek. It sounds like she's caught up with all the negative Animal House stereotypes that are out there. Do you or better still your mom know any Greek alums? Regardless of the fraternity or sorority. Perhaps if she talked to someone else besides you she might better understand what being Greek really means and how it can benefit you your whole life. An alum has "been there, done that" and learned the true value of being Greek including lifelong brother/sisterhood, leadership skills, the importance of community service and above all scholastic achievement.

My mom wasn't really on board with it until she met my pledge pop and some of my pledge brothers. Then she was all for it, as they are a great bunch of guys. Even now when we talk she asks for updates on "the boys".

"yea i got a 3.0 but that was due to an ex girlfriend not pledging, but she was nice enough to say that due to those circumstances, NEXT semester i gotta get a 3.4, see she loves me haha"

LOL! I re-read this and inserted a comma after the word girlfriend and it takes on a different meaning--the intended one.
