One final note, there are many, many sorority sisters and hurting moms on this forum who have helped me to process through the sadness and disappointment I feel for my daughter by recognizing the flaws in the IU recruitment process. Thank you!!!

I agree with ZTAIUalum and no, it was not her post that started the personal attacks. It was the mother of someone coming on here and claiming that every single girl in an IU sorority must be rich, beautiful, and have ice-water running through her veins (looking to hurt PNMs and not living by her creed) that started the personal attacks. The IU system is not the best. I agree with you and the other moms on here. I say this as someone who, like TrideltaSallie, feels like her sorority membership has enhanced her life to a degree that simply getting an education never could but, really? Are we really going to bash the ladies who got bids or handed out bids because someone was upset. I am all for Greek life but, if a person came to my office wanting a job and I saw she was Greek at random-bumblescum-U and I saw she transferred from IU, even if IU had the same program (because, I would ask why she transferred), I wouldn't hire her. At the end of the day, the name on my degree is what has helped open doors---though I am a proud member of my sorority. So, please just STOP!
