My eighteen year old daughter wants to go to fraternity for her birthday, should let her go?

Answer 1

well she's 18 so technicaly, she's alegal adult and you cant really stop her. But if she's still living in your house and your rules u could tell her their will be consiquensis if she does go.... it's really up to you. but i say yeah.

Answer 2

This day and age, I most likely would not let my eighteen year old daughter go near a fraternity party. If there is a controversy over the deal, tell her she can go if there is no alcohol at the party and you will go with her to check. If there is no alcohol, then she can stay and you will pick her up at a specific time.

Just a thought.

Answer 3

Well, she is eighteen, this is one of those things where I don't think she should go, but what can you do? She can make her on decisions. I think you should give her the over worried parent talk, and say hey I know you are going to do what you want to do, but let me tell you what can happen at these parties. Tell her about gang rape, drugs the whole nine yards. If she chooses to go anyway, make sure she takes a cell. Beyond that there is not much else you can do.

Answer 4

If you mean she wants to attend a party? Then I think If you believe you were a good parent, you need to let her go. You know your daughter, and you must allow her to show you she can be trusted. Let her go, with your permission and let her know that you have faith in her to act accordingly. We can not always be with our children day and night. It is hard not to try and protect our kids no matter how old they become. If you continue to deny her some freedom she will start to resent you and that will only cause greater problems.At some point we must let our children make their own choices,and hope that we can be proud of the ones they make.

Answer 5

if the girl lives in your house and is not a college student then no. she has no reason to be there and will get taken advantage of. if she is in college and knows some frat boys then go with your gut instincts. if she drinks and parties and has sex already then it will be know different then the normal party. go with your gut, it is ok to say no. if you do let her go make sure other people go with her and that she know that is absolutely ok to call you no matter what and that she will not be in trouble because all that you want is for her to be safe and you trust her judgement. dont punish her if she calls you drunk she will never call you drunk again and you wont know who is taking her home then. the big 18 let her be an adult. not to much though!

Answer 6

Hell no!! I remember 18 very well. I was always up to no good. If she's still under your roof you make the rules. Just because she's legally an adult does not mean she shouldn't follow her parents rules. When I turned 18 my parents changed the rules a little, but I still had to follow them. Then I moved out, got pregnant, had 3 kids, got divorced . . . . Hope I helped.

Answer 7

I am in college and been to a lot of frat parties. If the frat is having a party for her, she'll probably get really drunk. Most frats dont abuse women, most are actually pretty nice. But they do like to drink a lot. Make sure someone trustworthy goes with her, and she knows her limits. And find out where she is going to stay.

Answer 8

Sure - as long as she is on the pill. Girls don't go to fraternities on a b-day unless they have ideas other than just saying hi to the boys.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 9

Whats a fraternity?

Answer 10

Do you trust her?

Oh, and I don't care if she's 18... If she still lives in your house, she has to follow your rules.

I wouldn't let most kids go. However, I probably would let my daughter go... because I trust her. She gets great grades and she's never really screwed up.

Answer 11

Well, she is 18.
