What an odd first post...

I could be mistaken, but I do not believe Kitemom's first language is English.

Kitemom---thanks for the updates!

Needless to say, whether kitemom's use of "needless to say" was appropriate or not has nothing to do with grammar.

Dear missthing,

Apparently you missed the lesson on class - whether or not Kitemom uses 'needless to say' more than once is really not the original topic of discussion. Didn't anyone teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?

I don't usually pay much attention to trolls, but your comment bugged me since it was rude and incorrect considering it has nothing to do with grammar.

Sincerely,

Kitemom - pay no attention to the above. I can't wait to hear about her bid tomorrow! She's been in my thoughts and prayers! Maybe she'll be one of my chapter sisters?

I am just seeing this post, but I decided to put my two cents in. I spent most of my life overseas because of my father's job living in over 8 countries myself and attending an endless stream of international schools. Even though I had no clue about the recruitment process, and had no access to a local panhellenic, I still had a great recruitment process and ended up getting my first choice. Just tell your daughter to be herself and enjoy the ride. If you want to you can PM me.
