[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a normal thing? I’ve never heard of it, but a friend posted their daughter’s online today asking for rec letters for rush. [/quote]

Make sure the Social Resume includes details on Mommy. [b]This is a BIG deal with Southern Sororities[/b]…
First we have to know how much of a superficial loser the mom is….
1) Did she marry her husband for money?
2) Are her nails always done?
3) Full make up anytime she leaves the house?
4) Clothing mirrors that of a wannabe socialite? Quiet Luxury is a foreign concept
5) despite never going to a TOP school, the prestige of DD college makes up a big part of her life?
6) Has some connections through daddy or husband and think she belongs

If 5 of those are CHECKS, then yes, you can move on to your own social resume and chances are you are closer to your (mom’s) dream of you making it into the sorority they didn’t….Then WELCOME to the “Find me a husband club”[/quote]

There’s gotta be a reason this is only a thing at southern schools. My daughter’s in a sorority at a big state school outside the South, and to her, the idea that girls would put in the same time, money, and effort into getting into a sorority as they did into getting into college itself is completely wild. Are the boys putting in the same effort when rushing? I mean, are we not in 2025?  [/quote]

Because it’s no different than how they live the rest of their lives.

Social status rules.  Old family money rules, but if you’ve lost the family money over the years, you still keep your social status because everyone still knows your family name and that’s what matters more than anything.

What matters:

Who are you? (Note to outsiders, this is not where you say your name, this is where you say who your daddy or granddaddy is - use the family name with the most recognition)

Who do you know?  If you are not in one if their social circles, you never will be except possibly at a superficial level.

Conformity is essential.  You must look and behave in extremely acceptable and predictable ways. Yes, buy the wedge sandals everyone else has.

It’s good to be smart, but don’t let that interfere with your “sweetness” by questioning  authority, religion, or politics.  If your intelligence makes you serious or even occasionally depressed, you’re “too smart”, though if will be interpreted as “not sweet.”[/quote]
