On tiers: it's hard to get away from tier talk for anything. Universities are ranked, class rankings determine college acceptance, we get the top 100 restaurants, etc. This is standard stuff in life today....and it's OK. You are taking it personally and there is no need to do so.

My friend's daughter who rushed at Bama this year said her daughter got dropped from "all but the 2 bottom tier houses". She accepted a bid from the 2nd to the bottom house...her own words. Mom and daughter are thrilled. Her daughter eats breakfast/lunch daily at the house and is having the time of her life. Mom said that if her daughter had gotten into one of the mid/top tiers, they would've "eaten her alive". Does mom's description of that house being "bottom tier" mean those girls aren't of good girls, have value and aren't cute? No.

On the 30 yrs ago: not at all; you don't seem to know the greek culture at Texas but I do. It's different. Not much changes there on the existing sororities. Ask any student/mom with experience in it.

No nastiness on my part for sure, so not sue why you are being so negative towards me. If it's due to my ranking, see comments above.

Have a great Sunday!

Bless your heart. No amount of explaining is going to get through that thick skull of yours. Or your thin skin, either.

Translation: it was sarcasm. Everyone here knows I was using it sarcastically. You know nothing about my demeanor (or anyone else's here, for that matter).

I think you really, really, really need to step away from the keyboard. Permanently.

Who's got my soda? I got up to make fresh popcorn.
