[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like an odd thing for a parent to be involved in. You know she’s an adult right?[/quote]
I hate this argument.

Yes, she's an adult, albeit a very young one. (If she's a college freshman, she's been an adult in the legal sense for a year, at most. Her frontal lobe is barely finished developing.)

It's not like people wake up the morning of their 18th birthday with the mind of a 45yo. She's still a teenager, who feels teenage emotions and needs her mom when things get a bit haywire.

OP is a good mom for caring about her kid and wanting to support her, even if it's something as stupid and pointless as sorority rush. [/quote]

You are missing what role and job is yours as a parent. You can care about and love your child, without navigating the social minutiae her. Getting into nitty gritty of details of pledging and social group is taking over the daughter’s work. It’s her job to navigate this stuff. Part of frontal lobe development takes time, but a huge part is working through different situations. Trust she can do that. [/quote]
