Want to know what happens when a Mom knows it all? Want to know what happens when mother and/or daughter refuses to listen to basic information because they "know better" and (in their case) recruitment isn't as competitive? I wrote a thread on it: My daughter's friend's recruitment.

In short: Mom (who was Greek and deactivated after a standards meeting) who knows how valuable a commodity her daughter is in this world. Mother and daughter looked on the internet to see the top tier houses, which were the ONLY acceptable houses. Mother and daughter refused my daughter's advice on clothing (flipflops and cutoffs were the chosen outfit for casual days). And her legacy chapter? EWWWWWWW...do you know that they had a bald girl in the house? Recs? Nah, not necessary.

First round: dropped from all the "right" houses.

Joined a recolonizing house and dropped out.

Went through informal...dressed better...no bid from top house.

Went through formal spring.....didn't work either.

Now she claims that girls from the top houses are stopping her on campus BEGGING her to join.

I'll introduce them to the OP's family with the title: What not to do...and say. (Did I mention that she insulted her legacy house? When she was there...talking to the girls....)

She is a sophomore, almost a junior. Mine is a bit older, one semester ahead.

But geez Louise, don't girls from top and heck all houses, prowl the campus and ask random girls to join their house? She is a top commodity after all.

Uber-trashy and cheerleader are not always mutually exclusive. Just saying is all.

Oh come on.

You can't drop that and not explain.
