[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend found out she was not accepted at the sorority of her choice because during rush they researched her and found out she had dated a black guy in high school.

This doesn't sound right to me.  It must have been a really small school and a sorority where the girls had too much time on their hands.  Rush is a blur of girls coming through your house, and you are trying to make connections and see who would be  good fit.  I can't imagine having the time to find out who dated whom in HS.  College girls have a lot going for them, granted it was years ago, but I cant recall anyone talking much about boyfriends.  Girls talk about their families, where they are from, their interests.  I can't imagine anyone mentioning the race of their boyfriend during rush and I can't remember anyone asking.  Not saying your story isn't true I am just saying it is not indicative of the rush experience.

OP I was in a sorority.  It was a great experience but it was just that "a" great experience.  It was certainly not the only experience I had in college.  I didn't rush until Sophomore year.  I really wanted a chance to get a feel for the school first so rushing just a few weeks into freshman year seemed overwhelming to me.  I actually play a sport instead freshman year.  Both before and after I joined not all the parties I went to were fraternity parties and not all my friends were in sororities.

I don't see why you would discourage her.  Let her get into a college that is right for her and then let her rush and see what happens.  You raised her so only you know if you raised a daughter capable of making an independent decision based on what she see and what she hears.  Girls drop out of rush and some girls choose not to join any sorority even if they get a bid.  Further there is a time period between bid day and initiation where your daughter can change her mind if she doesn't feel comfortable.   And frankly speaking she can change her mind anytime.  Let her decide what is right for her, by the time she goes to college you have to trust you've done all you can to help guide her towards good choices even when you are not with her.
