ALS463 could it be you are mixing up 2 users posting here? I am not seeing CATFAN ever mentioning houses until she says her daughter is now a Phi Mu. There are similar user names posting different experiences and outcomes in this thread.

You can go back in and click on her name. It will let you look at threads or posts started by her. She made statements like I said above. Unless she went back and deleted them or decided to edit them, they are in this thread.

Good job but, I forgot to reply to the message you put on here earlier. Great gravy? I should leave the mom alone? Would you say the same thing if mom was saying everything like this throughout the thread about her daughter not being happy because the chapter wasn't viewed as desirable only to find out she was talking about Alpha Phi? I doubt it. Don't tell me to chill out. Hopefully, someone won't come on here and put your chapter sisters down while trying to lament that her daughter wasn't too thrilled about the "less desirable" chapter.

ALS463, you need to go back and read my posts one more time... and no, I have not and will not edit them. Those posts are mine, not CATFAN, whose name is very similar. I never once said that any of the chapters weren't viewed as desirable. I said that my daughter did not feel that that they were a good fit for her and were not her top choices. There's a big difference! But, after her pref parties, she changed her mind... something an 18 year old girl does quite often. I doubt that any of the houses are naive enough to think that they are the top choice for everyone who gets a bid from them. I specifically said I didn't want to mention the names because of someone getting the wrong idea. I was scared to death that my daughter wasn't going to get in at all and that is the kind of disappointment I didn't want her to suffer right before school starts. It is devastating for some girls, and there was one in her group that had that happen yesterday!! Please get your facts straight before accusing and do not twist the meaning of people's words to suit your own negative attitude.

Thank you to the rest of you moms for such great advice and support. Congrats to everyone!!

Her daughter experienced very heavy cuts and was floored by it. As an objective observer, I didn't read her posts as saying "My daughter hates these women" just that she didn't feel "right" and couldn't say why. After experiencing heavy cuts and the resulting blow to the ego, it is difficult for a young woman to then get excited and love anybody, that day. The mom clearly indicated that she liked one of the chapters a lot more after pref. WE always tell young women to try to keep a positive attitude and give chapters a chance in spite of disappointments. We tell them to treat it as though those left are the only ones left on campus. This young lady clearly did that. I would not be offended if she ended up in an Alpha Gam chapter after all that.
