Thoughts on sorority life?

I was in a sorority a long time ago, and ended up quitting due to several disturbing events I felt I couldn’t be part of, plus the “cult-like” description corresponds to my experience. They made it very difficult, and very personal, to leave. Even at a 25 yr reunion, these women would not speak to me (and it was done in a way to make it clear that was the case). Whatev.

I now live in a college town. “trust your kid” is not nearly as effective as many people want to believe. No matter what they show you at parents’ weekend, there is much more partying with many fewer safeguards than most parents would like. That being said, plenty of Greek girls have positive, enriching experiences. I would keep an eye on the grades, but also keep communication open and safety reminders out there.
