is a difference between being a helicopter parent and being a supportive parent. Helicopter parents are the ones that try to be too involved in their children's lives when they really shouldn't be. They're the ones who show up on this website or greek chat and obsess about where their daughter will or did get invited back to, try to get involved in the decision the girl is making when ranking the houses, get super duper upset when a house cuts their little angel, etc etc. Supportive parents are their for their daughters, but not in an obsessive way. They are there to talk if the daughter is upset or to give her advice if she asks for it. However, they do not cross the crazy line like helicopter parents do. They will put the daughter's fears and worries into perspective, so that if she is upset she realizes that sorority recruitment is not the end all be all in life.
