[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have known my friend since our sons attended K4 together and our families have been close ever since. He is almost like a second son to me as well.

This past college admissions season went well for him and he got into a desirable T30, but ultimately he also had applied to Alabama and was accepted with an exceptionally generous scholarship. He opted to accept and will be going to Bama. His mom/ my friend was very upset as she wanted him to go to the T30. They are full pay and would not be burdened by the tuition expenses so the scholarship did not mean anything to her.

She has only been getting more nervous as an orientation date approaches and is more worried for her son. He is a kind laid back kid, very smart, sporty at country club sports, but quite sheltered. My son has told me he is planning to rush a social fraternity. Apparently, a sophomore girl he met through some online group is already DMing him on Instagram. My son thinks that the family’s wealth which is apparent on his social media is playing a role. I like this kid and am worried for how this nice young man will adjust to a party school. His mom is not aware of the fraternity plans or the girl.

Should I share with her what my son told me or just let things run their course? This is a great kid and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.

How lucky he is to be attending a fantastic school like Alabama.

He is going to have a great experience. [/quote]
