[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw on the parent fb page some parents are sending their daughters cookies and / or flowers. Is this a thing?

I assume parents were not present for Bid Day.  I know of out of state moms showing up for Bid Day at Southern universities. Seems a bit much, in my view. [/quote]

Kind of like when kids get accepted and there is a pic on insta of a kids bedroom with 100+ balloons, $1K of college merch and snack food that matches the school colors.  Last year it seemed each post topped the prior one.

So, yeah, some parents are thrilled that their kids are now in the “top tier” of society and will send them presents that they will then hopefully post on social media so the moms can repost and brag.[/quote]

Geez parents are happy their kid got into any sorority, not top tier. I sent my kid some themed cookies after initiation.

I heard that a lot of girls dropped out of rush this year, which is a real shame. Sounds like way more than usual and they started with a smaller group rushing to begin with.   Looks like it will be a busy COB season.[/quote]

If your kid got into the lowest tier that only got 3 girls as opposed to their usual full house would you have sent themed cookies?  Maybe you would have - but I am seeing the usual tier hierarchy play out.

What I am seeing on social media is just so eye opening…and depressing. I feel so bad for the kids with everything so in your face on social media. And from what I am seeing the parents are the worst.

I am also seeing tons of posts from kids who were just accepted into college listing all of the sororities in their girls school begging for letters of recommendation. It’s January... 😳
And their kid is not yet in college.[/quote]

These types of parents are nuts!! Omg[/quote]

+1. It is the southern moms who think they are Kardashians, who are trying to perpetuate this toxic BS, living vicariously through their daughter/s.  [/quote]

I see where you’re going with this—but the Kardashian reference tells me you don’t have an accurate depiction in your mind of who these Southern moms and Southern sororities are. (The only thing they have in common with a Kardashian is the way Kris will move the earth and moon ti try to get her daughters what they want. Or at least…what she wants FOR them.)

The moms/alums of the “good” Southern sororities are the exact opposite of Kardashian and will go to great lengths to protect their brand against the “Kardashian-like” type of reputation and behavior that is celebrated in media. If you are tattooed, trashy, foul-mouthed, and known to be sexually promiscuous, you aren’t getting a bid from a good Southern sorority.
Both groups (“top Southern sororities” and “Kardashians”) may still both be abhorrent to you, but they are 100% not the same category.
