Mother wanted the following (Dad way out of picture- more laid back)

1) Safety at night- are there enough lights? Will the security help me?

2) Enough alumnae and upper-classwomen for role models, for me to look up to

3) Sense of community among the women that lasts beyond college years

The rest could be applied to men too so I’m not going to name them. She just believes in the power of women’s network… Worked for her when I went to Smith. Then when I said I was transferring out, she totally protested! I compromised with her that I would join a sorority at my new school to maintain that “sisterhood.” Now she’s happy as a clam with my sorority membership.
