Any ASU Greek Girls Out There? Need Advice Please

[AZMOM]

Thank-you for your kind words SWTXBelle. Being from the Midwest we were taught you always catch more "flies w/honey than vinegar." I appreciate you taking the time to reply but still would appreciate to hear from others and their own personal opinions. Being the wonderful age of 49, I do hope those who are now past the college age might have some wonderful stories to share to encourage those who are thinking of joining a Sorority as well as those still involved. It sometimes puts a smile on a womans face @ my age to relive a wonderful moment or time from yrs. ago that still makes us grin and at this state we need all we can get. (lol) My dtgr. is in the process of trying to locate sorority members on campus but being AZ has only 6% sorority membership they aren't as easy to find. She's still working on it. I totally agree w/you "open mind" through recruitment is the name of the game.
Again, thank-you and hopefully I'll hear from some great ASU Greeks out there......
Sincerely,
AZMOM

No matter how sweetly you ask it, you're still asking a big NO-NO question.

Please refrain from further pursuing this, no matter how nicely you ask.

AlphaFrog, strange response. Not sure where you're from but it's a very honest, sincere question. Why you responded the way you did is alarming to me. I'll just let it go at that.
Again, anyone from Arizona State if you even belong to this forum, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank-you.....

Where I'm from makes no difference. I don't care how honest or sincere your question is...it's still inappropriate.
STOP ASKING.

AlphaFrog, you don't define what is wrong or right in my life. I do find you rude and will no longer reply to you. I'd appreciate it if you would just move on. You have nothing of value to offer me or my dtgr. by barking out orders. Never ever tell a person what they should or shouldn't do. Very inappropriate! Go eat lunch....
Sincerely,

Oh my, I find this so funny! I haven't lol'd so much online in a while.

AZMOM, the reason Alpha Frog and others have told you to stop asking this question is because it is impolite. It'd be like me asking everyone you know to tell me what you're like, without getting to know you myself. Some people will say, "She's crazy," some will say, "She's the best!", others will say, "She used to be a coke-head." Some might say, "She's fat," some will say, "She only likes people who have lots of money," still, others will say, "She's crazy." (Oh, more than one person said that last thing, so it must be true, right?)

It simply doesn't matter what others think of the sororities at ASU. It will only matter what your daughter thinks. Stereotypes are just that, and asking people to list stereotypes on a public forum is ill-mannered.

This is the best response I've seen to this question yet, and I plan to use it in my personal life when people say "oh you were an xyz, I heard they were all (fill in the blank with unkind word of your choosing.)" My response will be "well if that's what you heard than it must be true!"

And the only way to do this is to refrain from asking what you've come here to ask. Surely you understand why everyone is so tactfully trying to move you away from this subject. Its in your best interest, for your daughter as well, that you don't keep insisting. The best advice anyone can give your daughter is found in the Sorority Recruitment forum.

Lisa,
As tactfully as I know how to ask this question. Why is there such fear in asking a simple question that girls here seem terrified in answering? Is it just this forum or this the way the Greeks live? Don't ask and don't answer? This is rather shocking to me....
