[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter will be a freshman in a couple of weeks and isn't sure if she's interested in going greek or not.  I was never in a sorority (my college didn't have them), so I can't really advise either way.  I told her to make friends freshman year and see what those friends are planning to do.  She can decide to rush or not for sophomore year.  It does sound like a huge time suck and pretty silly.  OTOH, it could be a lot of fun.  [/quote]

My DD went into school not sold on rushing either but then everyone on her hall did and it seemed like fun to check it all out. It worked out and she loves her sorority and is excited to participate in some leadership positions this year. It is really not a big time suck, unless boys rush and pledging, it was an absolute breeze for her and all fun, once she got through rush itself. The only negative I saw is that her hall had been very close all fall and into spring but then when they rushed, they all ended up in different houses and they tended to go their separate ways. No one else on my DD's hall was in her sorority, so she felt a little sad that she lost that closeness with some of them as they got to know their new sisters, but in the end, they are still friends and I think that will continue this year (sophomore). Just a warning that that can happen and those great friends from freshman fall might end up spending less time there.[/quote]
