[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn't "let" your adult college student join a fraternity, and now you're asking strangers on an anonymous message board whether you should "let" him join a business frat? Land the damn helicopter. [/quote]

WTAF, OP.  Let your child become an adult, let your child grow up!  Are you going to apply for jobs for him, too?   How do you think that will go?  Do you think an employer wants an employee such as that?

Well bless your heart. Did we get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Sorry that my post was such a trigger for you, PPs. I can only think that this means that you are the kind of mommies whose first priority is that their boys "like" them, and that you experience a twinge of guilt when you read questions like this because you realize that you have no idea what your own college-age sons are up to, as long as they are "happy?"

You're absolutely correct that we did not let him join a social fraternity during his first year. I have no intention of subsidizing $6K in dues and fees, on top of his $70K plus a year education, until he at least proves that he is able to maintain a GPA that is worthy of that amount of money being spent. But if you will reread my OP instead of merely reacting in a triggered fashion, you will see that I did not at all comment one way or the other on whether or not he joins this professional organization. I was merely asking others to tell me about this type of group, as I am not really familiar with it.[/quote]
