I got a call from a family friend yesterday--someone I haven’t been in touch with in years, mind you--asking me to call a sorority national office to “put in a good word” for the granddaughter of a friend of hers who’s rushing right now (at an SEC school). I don’t know her friend OR her friend’s granddaughter.

All I could think was WTF?! Luckily for me, she was mistaken about the sorority that I was in in college, so it was easy for me to say no. But I was literally so shocked that she would even think to call me! The whole thing struck me as totally ridiculous. I guess it’s not just the parents who are overly invested in this.

That is wild and not at all surprising.
