Just one question: For the female perspective this is supposed to give, older sisters (vs little sisters) are not an option, eh?

Okay, good luck raising your obnoxious "girl boss" who everyone finds insufferable and becomes some work from home office nobody. While the "sweetheart" plays a more traditional feminine role, maybe studies education or nursing, and at the same time bags a rich boy who's heading to law or medical school.

Never hassled, touched, followed, etc because all the guys knew I was Tim’s little sister. And there were some frats at my big 10 school, I would cross the street to stay far away from even in broad daylight.

What kind of Stockholm Syndrome + Madonna/whore trope mash up is this?

You’ve got problems PP.
I really don’t understand the hate that the Greek system gets on this board but that’s neither here nor there as everyone’s DC can decide for themselves but the above comment is way over the top.

Oh, it’s not. It’s nail on the head. The post is so cringe I can’t cringe hard enough.

These threads are cringe because most of the strivers who obsess over getting their teen into a "top 25" are insecure middle class, often low status feds and SAHMs. They were uncool in college, on the outside looking in of Greek life. And still hold that resentment and insecurity 20 and 30 years later.

That’s a *chef’s kiss* perfect former sorority sister comment. Kudos!

I don't think you realize that Greek Life is not synonymous with class, intelligence, or coolness. When I was in college, we thought most frat boys were exactly the opposite. The sexism and appalling.

This sounds sexist and dumb.

We all hope for different goals for our children. This just does not sound in any shape or form like something I hope for mine. Just my view/take on what has been described here so far.
If you and your DD like it (like many others going by the previous posts) then more power to you. Just not our cup of tea.

This mother should be more embarrassed than any sweetheart (won't say what they are known as here) - and that is a LOT of embarrassment!

What was wrong with what PP hoped for her daughter? Teacher or nursing are phenomenal careers, with skies the limit levels of advancement. And locking up a charming and driven MD or lawyer (especially a second or third generation lawyer) is the stuff most parents hope for.

What, are you raising your daughter to be some "I don't need a man" pushy "business woman" who will be perpetually single and freezing her eggs at 35? Calling you in her mid 30s complaining how no men measure up to her standards and she can't meet a man who makes as much as her. Which would be cue for you to acknowledge your terrible advice in telling her to focus on being a girl boss over a feminine gal who placed herself in high-status dating pools back in college.

Someone's got a lot of weird fantasies about women who aren't chasing a "more traditional feminine role."

I see the dozens of younger women I work with who are in their 30s, lonely and childless. Bitter battleaxes. It's an epidemic; you can do a google news search and pull up countless pieces. If they had learned and embraced more traditional values and acted a bit more feminine in college via Greek life, they'd be far happier. All of the sorority women their age are married with kids. Greek life isn't chauvinistic pigs running around date raping women like you nuts claim. It makes kids grow up, learn how to act in social settings and dating pools, and helps them meet a spouse.
