I have hoped that the girls would. For some of them it was because they were very social and I knew they'd love it. For others, they needed to "become more social". In all those cases, it worked as we'd hoped (my husband was not Greek but he wanted them all to pledge too).
For the boys...we'll see. One is thinking of attending a college where the fraternities tend to be really wild and I'd hate to see him act like so many there do. There are quieter gfraternities but who knows which he'd be attracted to? He's been very involved in sports and various activities in high school and the only way to get heavily involved on some campuses is to go Greek--we don't want him to lose his drive.
Probably we'll just see where he goes and make sure he gets to attend some pre-recruitment parties; then he can at least make an educated decision.
