How did you tell your parents?

It IS the ONLY D9 sorority on campus that has never been suspended for hazing in the 20 years they have been on campus. That definitely speaks highly of that chapter by itself.

Now you know that I don't condone hazing (well maybe sometimes ) but that is not what you said earlier. You said that it IS the only sorority not suspended for hazing. Which means that it is the only org currently recognized on campus. This leaves a selection pool of ONE VERY choosy. It seems to me like she just wanted to be Greek so I have no sympathy for her.

If mom gets pissed, then so be it; she needs to take it like a woman and GTFOI. If it really is the org for her then why should she dread telling mom? It is what it is!

I know I said I was done, but since you brought this up I just thought that I would comment on it. I really do believe that she found the sorority that best matched her personality. Being that it was the only sorority on campus, it gave her a chance to get to know more about that particular sorority then just following the hype of what her friends/parents/cousins/etc did. I know that she did research all the orgs and as far as there not being a big pool, another sorority will be back on campus next year. Therefore if she wanted to do that, she would have easily waited. Not to mention that she went to a school previously that had all 4 so she learned about all 4 during that time too.

And I didn't say my mom would be pissed at her but only hurt. My mom wouldn't be the first parent to want their child to follow his/her footsteps to a greek organization. Who really likes to hurt their parents feelings? Though she did wish that my sister followed her footsteps, she was happy for my sister and traveled over 800 miles (13 hour drive) to be here for my sister's probate show.

I went with my sister to a forum that gave students a chance to talk to members of all the NPHC back in January. The sororities that were suspended had members of the local graduate chapter talk. The president of that particular alumnae chapter informed the students that the fees were paid and they would be looking into having MIP next year.

I shouldn't have said I KNOW this. Rather that another sorority is no longer suspended and prospected to be back on campus next year.
