I understand where she's coming from. She feels like she raised an upstanding woman...if her daughter didn't make it into a top-tiered sorority, she feels like she failed raising her properly. It comes back on the mom. It's like raising a serial killer, you feel like you failed as parents. Sorority rush is the litmus test of proper raising. I sympathize with the situation.

oh its already been brought...

hehe. on a more serious note, if a parent is likening their child's "failure" at sorority recruitment to "failing a parent", then yes, I have to agree with them. If they are THAT concerned with recruitment results and would rather see their child unhappy, then yes, they have failed as a parent.
