Any ASU Greek Girls Out There? Need Advice Please

[rufio]

I go to ASU and am quite familiar with the sororities here. while each sorority has its own reputation it is completely inappropriate and unfair to divulge this information. Rush just finished up here and my brothers and i have had to refuse giving our opinions of houses to many of the new frosh we've met. we have alot of friends in different houses and it would be unfair to say don't join xyz b/c they party too much etc. etc. Let your daughter go through formal rush and decide for herself which chapters she has the best connection. I will give this advice, make sure her GPA is up, it is a big deciding factor on who gets called back here at ASU. Some friends of mine connected excellently with alot of houses but were not called back due to grades.

Thank you for taking the high road on this issue, Rufio! It's refreshing!

OMG what is up with people on GC lately. Seriously, maybe it's because I'm super stressed at work and way more emotional (and taking things "personally"), but WTF?

Seriously, all this mom did was come on and ask questions and the next thing she knows is she's totally getting "dissed" and "yelled at" by other members of GC. Does Barbara need to come to this thread and remind everyone of the TOS?

What is with people on GC? People have gotten so incredibly mean this recruitment season, it's downright sad.

Go ahead and flame me, yell at me, I'm used to it having been on GC so long, but why are we (GC members) attacking new GC members.

AZMOM- I pm'd you

You obviously didn't read her posts attacking Dani in the Fraternity Recruitment forum. Barbara even had to clean up one of AZMom's posts.

With the exception of one or two posts, there's nothing wrong with telling the OP that questions of this nature don't get the best responses here. I've been watching this thread from the beginning and I have to admit, GCers usually known for being snarky have been playing nice and Barbara hasn't had to come in here yet.

Try and get the whole picture before you decide to come in here screaming bloody murder! And don't take your personal and emotional issues out on us. You don't want to be like some other people here. You're better than that.

[AZMOM]

OTW, I truly don't even know how to respond to your inaccurate information other than you're totally off base. You didn't read Dani's hateful, uncalled for comment to me or the fact that he set me up from the beginning with his answer. Go back and read it again. Please try to get your facts straight. So far, I have had no problems posting and don't even know who Barbara is. Speaking of which, where did you get that info. she had to clean-up one of my messages. Is she a moderator giving out that info. to this forum? If so, is that allowed?

AZMom,

Why don't you let your daughter decide how she wants to proceed with Greek Life? Going to college is a good start to learn how to deal with real life, and it's impossible for you to hold her hands throughout the way. Let her go to recruitment and see for herself. Tell her to keep an open minded and whatever she ends up being with, it's meant to be. Only SHE would know what's good for her or not, not you. So let her make the steps and choices. You have to let her go someone you know?

And not to mention, I've seen students with controlling (not meaning to say controlling) parents end up having a hard time to get situated with college and end up rebellion, because every little thing has to be consulted with the parents and they have to obey.

I was lucky enough to have parents who let me decide, and guess what? I earned my own tuition (plus loans) and learned so much more then I could ever imagine.

I guess my whole point is, let her do the work. You probably going to inhibit her learning experience...

Thank-you ASU....Finally someone who the question was intended for an ASU student. Your answer was great and your support even better. My original ? has been misread and no matter how many times I correct it they just aren't getting it. Ladies, go back and read the original post. Where does it say anything about girls living in the sororities? It doesn't and never did. I don't give a rats ass about what the girls are like living in these sororities I want to know about the chapters. What are the fees? What are the GPA requirements? Volunteer requirements? ETC. ETC. ETC. Man, some of you ladies, not all have got to get a life. You are scaring me. lol Is this how my daughter will turn out? Wow...scary. Again, some have been incredible. Thank-you. If she turns out like you, that's awesome.
Ladies, your making a mountain out of a moe hill. Go back, Go back Go back. Read the original post.......nothing is mentioned about the girls living there. GEEZ!!!

Nope, but I fear your daughter will turn out to be like you ..

Opps.. I'm j/k

[AZMOM]

Rufio, thank-you. Your GPA input was very helpful. Again, like a broken record this isn't about the girls living in the house. It's about the info. you just gave me. Thank-you......

[AZMOM]

Irishpipes,(we do love the Irish around here) my best friend is a graduate from OSU and I keep forgetting not to mention the words Sooners or OU around her. lol So, I'm very careful to say go Cowboys. I love OSU too. Hey, Garth Brooks!!!!! Who can beat that?

[AZMOM]

Hey Cutie, we are really close and I'm lucky to have her in my life. She's an incredible person. I'll take whatever credit I can get. I just wish I had her waistline and good looks. Gets that from her dad. If you knew me, I think you'd really like me away from this forum. Man, I don't know how people stay on this thing everyday. I'd be grumpy too.. opps... j/k

[AZMOM]

P.S. Cutie, she's very independent and she'd be the first to tell you she'll listen to what others have to say but she's calling the shots. It's her life and they'll be her decisions. That's my girl! She asked me do some research for her and I agreed. I think she can take it from her.

Well, as long as she asked you, then I understand that. It's one thing for a parent to take the initiative to do research and another thing for her to do it herself. But if I were her, I would rather do it myself, because you're talking about a life long commitment and it's best for the person themselves to learn about the process and keep an open mind.

Yes, being a parent does make you worry what goes on campus. But you should encourage her to do the research herself and not rely on you anymore.

[AZMOM]

Oh believe me, she'll be doing the lions share after this forum...lol She's going to school and working so I help only when "absolutely necessary." My 4 kids are "very independent." We(their dad & I) wouldn't have it any other way. Pretty proud of them. Great kids....oops adults.
Thanks......

This is the first post/thread (whatever) I've read from AZMom. So I don't have a clue (honestly) what you are talking about in the other thread. My reference to Barbara was based on what happened in LMV recruitment thread and how haywire that went.

I know on GC we (I think most people on GC) really do like to pride ourselves on being tolerant, but IMPO, we (GC, no individuals named here) haven't been too tolerant this recruitment season. Heck, I'll admit that last year I wasn't very tolerant of all the whining that went on from PNM's and others but I kept it to myself instead of starting a tiff online.

I don't know if people are fed up or what, but we are starting to take our, I don't know "issues" (for lack of a better word) out on each other and the OP's.

And OTW, going off what you said, I think we are all better than that. We just get caught in it.

Does any of this make sense?


OP= original poster? (blonde moment).
