[quote=Anonymous][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]

At least wait until Soph year, or at a minimum spring of freshman year.  IMO nobody should be able to rush fall of freshman year.  Let the kids actually work to make friends the normal/typical way.  Explore clubs/activites and find your group(s).  Then once you are settled, decide if you want/need to rush.  Just seems strange to do it fall freshman year before you've had the opportunity to make friends and adjust to college. [/quote]

I agree, I really don't like the places that rush in the fall. You have no time to set your feet much less decide if you want to rush. Both of my kids and myself were at schools where you could not rush until second semester freshman year. Much better, and I think most schools do that now.[/quote]
