And how on earth did that mother gain access to all of those other email addresses to even send that email out?

(and the obvious answer to your question is yes, the mother of course had zero right or place to do what she did and her daughter, who should understand she is in her sisterhood for life, should unplug her mother's computer and hide her keyboard forevermore)

A helicopter parent goes to the source and bargains for her kid to get what the mom thinks the kid deserves (the moon).

In this case, the parent is just crazy.

The result is the same. Nothing has changed, and in both cases, the daughter would be completely humiliated.

Nice job, Mom.

This mom's actions are inappropriate.

wonder where she found the all those email addresses, but being a helicopter mommy, she probably had access to her daughter's email account.

This is something I really could understand, if it came from a hurt collegian, but not from her mother.

She has no real place from which to judge the sorority or the actions of its HQ. Unless she is a sorority alumna herself, I doubt she even knows that even though her daughter's chapter is closed, she (daughter) is still a member for life with many opportunities for alumna involvement.

You all do know this is a sockpuppet who is "protecting the innocent"...

I am still clueless as to what they are asking?

Eh, only a kinda on the questions. They're common sense to me ( Yes and I'd roll my eyes, ask my chapter sisters if they got it, and comment in disbelief while clicking the archive button)

But I don't mind the story being posted anyway.

Assuming that it's a chapter that closed recently, if someone wanted to really find out who the group is, they could easily do so -- judging on the small number of chapter closings we have each year.
