[quote=Anonymous]What is the draw of the sorority?

Is it to find friends and a peer group?

We have highly encouraged our DD to not rush and to find peers through clubs and other activities. Neither one of us were in Greek life when we were in college, and we had a fun college experience with friends who we still periodically are in touch with today.

My perspective on Greek life is that it appears to me like you're paying for your friends, like you have to rush and then pay a fee to stay in this social club.

My small interaction with some in frats when I was in college, reminded me of the social "clicks" in high school. It gave me the impression of immature folks who seemed insecure and never grew out of high school social clicks. Seemingly wanting to constantly compare and rack and stack others.

But our lovely DD chooses not to listen to parents encouragement, and is currently rushing. She's a grown-up now, and as long as she works or comes up w/ the money for it... she's free to do as she pleases.

So are we wrong in our perspective of greek life? What is the draw?
