ac and co.

The more I hear about this story, the angrier I get--at AC's family. AC's sister is a Theta alumna. Her mother is a Tri Delt. Apparently, their whole family tree is rooted in Greek Life of some sort. THEY KNOW HOW THIS IS DONE! I would expect some rubes from Podunksville who had never heard of Greek Life to pitch a fit since they don't know what is involved in the selection process. but these people are steeped in Greek Life and, therefore, know that good people are cut for various reasons. This is not new to them! The problem is that their high-achieving DS daughter has excelled with every opportunity she has been given from the Down's Syndrome community. She has scholarships because of that community. She has achieved some great things WITH THE HELP of her heavily involved family and the DS community and that's wonderful for her. Still, her family can't do everything for her and the DS community has zero influence in Greek Life. So, if her many successes have caused her to have any kind of negative attitude or has resulted in she and her family assuming that her glowing "resume" would automatically get her a bid, then they are wrong and obviously it didn't. Instead of comforting their daughter and teaching her that she will not always succeed at everything the world throws her way, they are coddling her and blaming us for something they know is never guaranteed! I would especially be pissed off at this if I was a PNM who didn't get a bid. Where are their families' angry Tweets? Where is their lawsuit? Surely they must have been wrongfully cut too? But no. There is no barrage of viral posts about them because they are not special like AC. Maybe they didn't have a "resume" like AC's that should have guaranteed them a spot in someone's new member class. Or maybe they sucked it up, realized that quota is a thing, and went on with their lives. I wish AC and her overprotective family would follow their lead and do the same because their "lawsuit" doesn't stand a chance.
