Here's a tip for everyone complaining about the moms. Stop expecting your parents to pay for your sorority dues, your housing, your merchandise, your drinking money, etc. No, I'm not a mom. I am an alumna volunteer who is involved in greek life at Mizzou. And 95% of the collegians I work with are supported at least in part by their parents. Yes, some of them have part-time jobs, but rarely do they pay their own dues, especially not the first couple of years. Their parents have to make phone calls to chapter leaders and volunteers to talk about finances, or complain about finances, because their kids don't care about the money aspect and won't ask the questions themselves. If you don't want your parents to be involved in your life or be curious about what you are spending their money on, and you want to be treated as an adult, then act like an adult and don't ask your parents to handle things that you are capable of handling, and don't ask them to spend thousands of dollars on a greek experience. I have no tolerance for helicopter parents, but neither do I have tolerance for the pseudo-adults who want to be treated as an adult without acting like one. (I don't mind parents paying for dues, housing, etc. I just think it's ungrateful to chastise those parents for being curious about their investment.)
