Remember the old joke about the kid whose parents had to tie a t-bone steak around his neck so the dog would play with him? Suddenly it doesn't seem so funny. Because I just found out there are parents who actually pay big money for sorority prep training classes so their college-bound kids will be ready for rush week. And I do mean big money -- a two-week training course can set you back $8,000 (or you can opt for a "cheap" $50 one-shot session). It's like these parents are telling their kids, "Sorry, we don't actually believe you have a charming personality. We're going to pay for you to take classes so someone will like you!"![]()
