i also wonder if the statement about whether auburn was the place for her daughter was said in the heat of the moment. perhaps she felt that if the sororities felt that her daughter would not fit into their chapters(trying to use her logic), then maybe she would not fit in anywhere at auburn-that she must not be the typical auburn student, since she did not receive a bid. we may not agree with the logic, but i would imagine that when something devastating like this happens-and yes, it can be devastating to some-there is a lot of second guessing that goes on amongst pnm and parents.

My heart goes out to both the mother and the daughter for the emotional upheaval this whole process has cost them, but like others, I cannot believe she actually questioned whether or not her daughter belonged at Auburn. Talk about drastic.
Even if that comment was made in the heat of the moment, there was also her accusation that her daughter maybe hadn't "tried hard enough," which she then tried to explain in a later post, and that post to me did not sound like a heat of the moment kind of thing. Her poor daughter - I'm sure being rejected from all the sororities is a blow enough to your self-esteem without your mother questioning whether or not you genuinely put your best foot forward. Hurt feelings I can forgive, that post however, unacceptable.
