Is she going to college to eat or learn? Is she going to office hours, building a relationship with her TAs and professors, is she deepening her knowledge of her major, studying? Why spend all that money on college only to spend more money at a sorority in endless dues to cover full time cooks and focus on doing silly tiktok dances rather than learn?

Oh please. She’s going to Ole Miss.

Why are you such miserable women? Not everyone is like you. People value different things. Connecting with people is important. Guarantee you will find yourself wishing you put more effort into making friends than reading books.

Wow you are miserable people. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing people over books. Being able to build relationships is an important life skill, one I am pretty sure you are missing. It sounds to me that these girls are learning to balance a social and academic life. They will be happier and healthier for it.

My goodness. Just because it's not what you did or isn't what your child is doing doesn't mean it's bad. How hateful.

I mean, it might surprise you that she's doing ALL OF THE THINGS YOU LISTED!! Wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise to you? There are people out there that can do, and do, all of the things and aren't 100% academically focused.

I’m the PP you’re responding to. The student at Ole Miss feels supported in her studies. Her sorority watches GPAs and there are study groups. Apparently the food thing is a big deal and the university relies on the Greek system to provide food. I think it’s misogynistic to assign so much negativity to these groups of young women.

Honestly, they are all silly. You are correct. Just steer her another way, it’s a waste of time.

Was your sorority a waste of time? Which one was it?

So, everything that is NOT a sorority is an excellent use of time? Each and every academic club is 100% worth it?
