When my MIL found out which sorority my daughter pledged, she asked me if she was disappointed that she "didn't get into a better sorority". She knew absolutely nothing about the GPA, activities, sisterhood, reputation... of my daughter's sorority or any of the sororities on her campus, she only knew the letters and was not shy about voicing her preconceived notion that some sororities are "better" than others.
And, yes, we live in the South.
And, yes, when I complained to my husband, he responded with his usual "That's just the way she is...." Arrrggghhh
