I was OK with ignoring the Helicopter parents...I'm a parent myself, I can sympathize a little...but you're now helicoptering YOUR DAUGHTER'S FRIEND??? WHAT.THE.EFF.???

The questions you asked us should have been asked BY YOUR DAUGHTER to her sorority's MEMBERSHIP CHAIR...not by YOU on GREEKCHAT.

By the way... you WERE a Tri Delta??? Did you turn in your pin?

ETA: I realize I was harsh, and I'm sorry...but AOII BAMA MOM, have you not read ANYTHING else on here? The boards have not been favorable this year to moms who are spoon feeding their daughters and living vicariously.

WOW I had not checked this thread in a while and was stunned by the unkind comments directed to me. I was simply inquiring about a Spring Rush at UA. No, my daughter did not ask me to come onto this site and find out. She merely asked me if I had ever heard of there being one. So, just for fun I thought that I would come here and ask. I was stunned by your response. FYI my daughter is doing just fine at Bama. She understands that going to college is more than just getting a degree its about learning life lessons that will prepare you for the "Real World." (without mommy and daddy). With regard to your surly comment about turning in my Tri Delta pledge pin, I obviously used the wrong sentence structure. I AM a Tri Delta and I WAS at the University of Georgia. I know that you don't care about this but these first posts that I have made on this site will be my last. You have given me the impression that this is not a friendly site for information.

If she's already at school there, she can call the Greek Life office (or whatever that school's equivilant of that is) or physically go there and find out herself.



Just sayin'.

Correction on my above mentioned reply, I meant to put Tri Delta Pin not Pledge Pin. I was initiated many years ago. I am sure that you would have picked up on that.

SDT isn't and I'm not sure if GPhiB, who had a good fall recruitment from what I heard, is at or over total or just below

I lost my first post which is probably just as well since I have preached a kindler, gentler GC but may I say I am appalled by the negative, judgmental nitpicking of some of you. What you consider as borderline psychotic parenting, AlphaFrog, I would consider courtesy on the part of AOPiBama Mom. Your criticisms of her were based on your assumptions which turned out to be incorrect, didn't they?

What is the deal with some of you? Why are you so bitter about what you term "heliparents". Were your own parents not there for you or so distant and removed that your resent other people whose parents are involved in their lives? Or were you raised by wolves? Based on your manners, I would guess the latter.

Lighten up and go find a witch hunt somewhere. Madame DeFarge is waiting for you.

Well, she's certainly not a Tri-Delt at Georgia now. Relax.
