And hopefully she will see that, but also realize she might not.
I've been there, when i was a senior in HS i desperately wanted to be a cheerleader. But I didn't make it, and I couldn't realize why--i mean i had better jumps than some that made it, and i was friends with a lot of the girls etc. My mom had to stop me and realize "why," why did i want to be a cheerleader? For the status, because i love cheerleading?
I dont know if you have, but try and "sit her down" and ask her "why."
-Why does she want to be in a sorority?
-Does she want her Top 4, just for status?
Maybe after actually having that chat with her, will she might realize that she's not giving all the sororities a fair chance.
Rush is artificial. It seems like we might fit in with ABC sorority perfectly and not in XYZ, but after rush we see that ABC really aren't what they appeared and XYZ has a great sisterhood.
I hope everything works out well for both you and your daughter.
