[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD will apply to both UVA (reach for her) and VT (Target for her intended major). She has mentioned an interest in rushing for a sorority. Now, I am a newbie to all this “Greek” stuff, so I really have nothing to offer. We could afford the extra fees and expenses if needed. Nevertheless, I am concerned about how she will be received, if admitted at all. We are a Hispanic/Latino family. Her first language was Spanish, but never struggled with English. She often speaks to me and my spouse in Spanish.  We often visit family in Latin America as well. Do any of you have any insight?  I try to bring up some of the “not-so-nice” aspects, but she seems to like the “fun stuff” plus the “extra benefits” (networking) Greek Life has to offer. She says greek life in VA schools is nothing like Bama, Georgia, Ole’Miss, etc… type schools. [/quote]

She should not have a problem, those are large enough systems that there is a variety.  The rush process is reciprocal and her opportunity to interview the sororities as well so she should and decide if there is a fit or not, not just take whatever is offered.  Plenty of students choose not to join if they don't get a bid at one that is a good fit.  Would also recommend doing a deep dive and the plethora of non-Greek clubs that are out there, she may find a great fit and decide not to rush or possibly do both.[/quote]
