(Not taking a dig at anyone personally, just my opinion).
I agree...and this was something that was common BEFORE the rise of the heli-parent. It's probably because (very broadly speaking) so much more of a girl's future hinges on what sorority she pledges at these schools, in this region...if that makes sense. It's not just your college life this is going to affect, it's your WHOLE life.
