Michigan State Sororities

HOLY COW! I go to work for a few hours and come home to this hot mess. Great comic relief after a challenging morning, especially some of the side conversations.

Absolutely correct, IrishLake, that this one is not a Kappa Alpha Theta member's daughter, because Risk Management policies preclude alumna attendance at social events (other than situations such as Dad's/Mom's/Parents' Weekends, that sort of thing). Oh darn. Me so sad.

I suspect this one's a legacy to the tutor mansion so accurately described by Barbie's_Rush.

I have to admit, I always thought that Alumna (unless they served as chaperones) didn't really attend social events. Even if you had a chaperone there, I would think it would be a bit weird to have a random high school girl at your formal, that you probably paid for and she doesn't belong at.

I would not want to attend a formal with my sorority, even if it was specifically for my chapter, especially to bring along my daughter. How weird!

Normally I wait until I get home from school to sign-on, but being a MSU fan my whole life, my blood is boiling that someone got us confused with U of M.

And what is your mother doing at formal/semi-formal? Unless she's the advisor, I really don't see why the girls would be okay with a 40 something alum hanging around. I personally would never have wanted to see my own mother at formal (even though I didn't drink until I was 21).

Also, as for chapters saying that they will take you because you're a legacy...let's have a brief retro recruitment of my mother. She was a Delta Gamma legacy through her mother, grandmother, and two older sisters. However, she was cut from them before pref. She ended-up joining the best sorority for her, not the one that was best for her mother/grandmother/sisters. It was a great 4 years for her and she loves who she became because of it.

As for MSU recruitment...I write a rec or two for one of my dancers every year. They're not required, but since I personally know them, I feel it can't hurt them. Often these girls will get bids to sororities they didn't have recs for. It's a great school. I didn't go there, but I still breed green (hense I decided to post in green).

Sorry this was long and angry, but I hate it when people confuse MSU with U of M. Go Spartans!

It only matters if you are going through the chapter where your family went and people actually knew them. I know my chapter likes recs from local people not some Jane Doe in Walla Walla Washington. That is your opinion not mine. I have family in several states around me and I have already sent my letters off with my picture and transcripts. I didn't have Aunt Beth write a rec bc she didn't go to my chapter so I chose my neighbor.

If the original poster has a sister who may have been attending Washington State University, Jane Doe from Walla Walla may be the heiress to the Walla Walla Onion fortune and have attended Wazzu. Or perhaps, someone could move after college, it does happen.

I also hate it when onion trucks overturn on the interstate, it really stinks and our potato farm doesn't need to be smelling like onions, sick.

You guys!

Stop giving out incorrect advice and crushing her dreams.

Maybe it's a local and they just DO things differently.

I'm still going with mommy lying and taking her to purity balls as my theory.

Oh, fille, silly girl, Daddy takes you to those purity balls, and you dance close and have a nice incest type date. You end up in the society pages looking like you went to prom with your own dad and promise never to have sex before you get married or until the first hot guy buys you a box of Junior Mints at the movies!

As long as it's Junior Mints and not some repulsive candy that you'd serve at a slutfest, like Reeses Pieces.

I guess I'm a slut, then, cause I'd do it for Reese's Pieces!

[IrishLake]

I wonder where the OP went...

[AGD1978]

IrishLake, I can't begin to guess where she went but it would have involved an AWESOME flounce.
