Theta Mothers at Preff party?

by:    

I’m hoping this isn’t true but are Theta moms and older (already graduated) sisters really at their house during pref? Is that a real thing? Any other houses do that? Like am I going to see my friend’s mom waving at me through a curtain?
Please please tell me they aren’t that CRINGE cuz that is just not cool of them.

PNMs be ready to be creeped out!
Desperation makes people do weird things. This year they will be more than ever after last disastrous pc hated each other so much. Maybe if their moms hadn’t skipped them in they would have gone to houses where they could be happy lol

Fully grown woman here. I would not dream of doing this to my daughter. I don’t care how a mother justifies it to herself but it screams her own issue of insecurity. I absolutely ADORE my daughter and hope she has a perfect rush. I trust that she will call me if needs to vent or talk things through. But in NO WAY will I be telling her who she will spend her next 4 years with as “sisters”. I was in a fabulous sorority with a genuine sisterhood and I trust my daughter to find her own people. Shame on these mothers showing up on anything but bid day to celebrate wherever their daughter finds their home.

☝🏼one of the most embarrassing things ever seen- moms were actually crying!!
I couldn’t get out of there fast enough to pref the other house - made the right choice all by myself!!

Such a turn off! Saw some of the same moms at the late nights too. Completely obliterated - like mother like daughter so not really surprised. One kept playing with my guy friends hair- we kept trying to figure out if she was lonely and hitting on them or just blacked lol

Pi phi has always done this. My aunts were both there. It made it really hard to do my own thing.

By: Truth

I’m not a pi phi but even I know that’s not true.
And yes Theta does this - it’s really awkward for the girls.

Yes PiPhi absolutely does this. My godmother and aunt were at my pref. I know they were trying to be sweet but felt strange and forced.

You must be a very because as a very recent grad I can tell you Pi Phi has NEVER done this nor do they need to. My current roommates mother and grandmother were also Pi Phis- and they didn’t need to step foot on campus to pressure young women who are supposed to be old enough to make their own decisions.

Take your false insecure narrative elsewhere- obviously back to the pink house where they are particularly skilled at lying and cover ups.

Waiting for Theta girl to come back and say “It’s not that serious”
LOVE my mom but want to love her from afar after she moves me in - would die if she showed up to pressure me - what was right for her 22 years ago sounds a lot different now

If we have a new member who is a legacy, we will invite that family member to initiation but never to pref. We will sometimes have our advisors helping behind the scenes with pref but we never have adults attempting to sway someone's decision. Very strange if this is true.

New here but that is interesting wording. Must need an enormous amount of advisors “behind the scenes” both outside helping girls find their way to the door and inside checking to make sure no one is gagging. Exactly how many mothers pardon me, “advisors”, does it take to pressure a young girl to pick your sorority? Not sure how the rest of the sorority houses are full of young ladies able to successfully handle that themselves but explains a lot.
VERY Strange indeed.

I didn’t mean that our advisors are actually involved in the pref night party; they help beforehand with looking over everything we have planned to make sure it doesn’t violate any of the policies and then we have a couple available during the party in case of emergency like if anyone needs medical assistance, etc. The PNMs don’t ever interact with them unless they needed to step in to help a sick PNM or something.

Absolutely inappropriate for mothers to be at pref night at any sorority’s property whatsoever. What is wrong with them???
If you need advisors why would you need more than 3-5 max? If this is a differently abled housing situation then they do need help but I hadn’t heard of that existing at UT.
An establishing year for a chapter house it also seems understandable but not a house that has been here even over 5 years. These ridiculous women should be embarrassed for inserting themselves.

Isn’t that overstepping? Seems like there should be a UT Panhellenic rule. Seems bizarre that women are okay frankly imposing pressure on a teenager for a choice they made years ago. I would want my daughter to feel confident in her own decision and would be FURIOUS if my sister showed up to surprise pressure her not to mention how awkward for the other girls.

So a bunch of fake plastic insecure women are trying to impose their will on naive little girls? If they are dumb enough to want Dance Mom episode for freshman year then let them. 🍿🍿
Their committee drama was entertaining to watch and I bet those same moms will be back!

I don’t think it’s weird to have advisors involved in planning for pref but no one should have adults who are not advisors there, and they definitely shouldn’t be trying to influence anyone’s decision.
