I rarely post my 2 cents worth but....... as a mom who received that phone call saying that my daughter was being released from my sorority, I must say that it is a devastating experience. My daughter joined another group during spring rush that year and is thrilled with her choice but it is a tough pill to swallow at the time. Most parents will lighten up if their child is happy - that's all we really want anyway. I would love to share my sorority life with my daughter but she has to be able to do whatever she wants as well. I have two more daughters and I don't know how I'll live through two more recruitments! As for the phone call, I was told that my daughter was being released. Of course, my first response was to say "Why?????" Obviously, they can't really answer that question except to say that the girls just didn't feel that she was a "fit". That means nothing to a mom who believes that her daughter is perfect and would fit in anywhere (as I'm sure most mom's believe!) For that reason, the phone call is kind of a waste. However, it allowed me to warn my daughter before she picked up her Pref invites the next day and didn't see my sorority there. I think that we have to be patient with girls AND their moms. It takes a while to get over this but it will eventually happen. My daughter attends my university and she now has a new sister whose mom was my sorority sister! We're just starting over with a new generation.
