That's such a shame. Maybe the daughter will do enough talking about the process with her friends to realize she needs recs...and that her mother is being an idiot. I haven't encountered these parents but my mom has, and it almost never turns out well IMO.

The fact that she's not Greek probably doesn't help since it's harder for her to really understand what goes on behind the scenes...and that having a friend or cousin in a chapter doesn't guarantee a bid by any means, especially at a super competitive school. I know every mother thinks they're unique snowflake is the best snowflake, but seriously...with 1000+ girls going through, how many of them are beautiful, straight A students with impressive resumes and friends in chapters? A LOT OF THEM. It always boggles my mind that mothers/PNMs don't grasp that.
