Thanks everyone for your input. Yes, I am concerned but not super worried. I realize that I do have to trust her, and she has always made sound decisions in the past. There are so many cool things going on at that school and I wish she would partake in them Her first semester grades were pretty good (2 A’s 2 B’s) so that’s a relief.

@greenbutton after 25 years?? Wow. That’s my understanding as well, that sometimes if a girl is no longer a sister, they won’t even speak to her anymore.

@WayOutWestMom I was shocked also! She had never mentioned any interest in sorority/ fraternity life. In high school she was so into academics, basically a bookworm. Turned into a butterfly I guess lol.

@dcolosi interesting, never gave thought that maybe the sorority has rules about social media posts to control their image. I’ll ask her.

@IBviolamom this is my personal objection to sororities. My understanding is that typically the higher ranked sororities are the “prettier” girls. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Daughter is in one of these, something I’m not really proud of. I have never expressed this to her, of course. I raised her to treat everyone the same and to never discriminate, so why does she feel the need to hang out with girls who all look alike? Same makeup, brows, hair, clothes…yikes. She said she joined cause she wanted sisters.

@readthetealeaves thank you for sharing this! I do overall think it will positively enrich her life.
