As a parent...or the friend of a parent...I would recommend staying out of the officer selection process of any sorority.

I agree. I get that your daughter might be upset or have concerns, but sorority officer selection is of no concern to a member's parent. The officer slating process is a stressful time for ANY chapter, and adding extra parental input only makes things much more stressful. There is NO possible way for a chapter to please EVERY GIRL in the chapter in regards to officer selection, but that does not in any way mean that the chapter is lacking sisterhood or is being dishonest in any way.

It's not even her daughter, it's her friend's daughter. (supposedly)

Oh ok. Well in either case, it's still no business of anyone's parent. Is this a relatively new thing (parents wanting to be so involved in ALL aspects of their kid's greek lives)? Seriously, I was an active not even three years ago and we NEVER had parents even ask about this kind of stuff, because they assumed (and rightly so) that it was chapter business.
I never even discussed officer slating with my parent, because it was just none of her business to know about.
