Alpha is Love, and the Beginning, not Top Dawg! I'm Alpha Omicron Pi, which really is a sorority. Mmmm.. can I be Alpha Pi mom? That way I can be the mom that loves her kids and feeds them lots of Pie... See, the problem is, they have skewed it. Alpha is Love, and the Beginning, not Top Dawg!

I admire their energy and style, but it's really not me. I like the name Gamma Mama too. Standing just behind Alpha and Beta Moms, the Gamma Mom enjoys the occasional Bugaboo or Trumpette treat, without caring who knows. She laughs at the Beta and doesn't even try to keep up with the Alpha, but goes her own way and it's enough that her kids think she is the Alpha and Omega.

But what can you say? Isn't how well your children turn out as human beings the final arbiter of bragging rights?

I'm OK with Iota. Does me just being OK with being an Iota mom definitely make me an Iota mom? What about moms who feed a whole foods diet, but refuse to pay more than $100 for a stroller?
