It's hard for me to say, "Just worry about your education" when I couldn't imagine my life without my sorority. There are over 2,000 4-year colleges in the US; there can't be just one that fits a particular student academically. Choosing a college involves academic programs, but also location, setting, size, campus culture, price/scholarships etc. I mean, if I was interested in going Greek, I wouldn't go to Bowdin. I can't imagine being Greek at an SEC school, but those schools wouldn't be a fit for me for other reasons.

Basically, what I am trying to say is that if Texas is a good fit for her in all other areas, AND she could be happy regardless of whether she joined a sorority, then there's no reason not to choose it. I guess it's hard for her to predict how she would feel if recruitment didn't work out like she planned. Even still, I can't recommend going to a less competitive school for the purpose of going Greek because there are no guarantees. Just know that life does go on and if she really does like Texas for the school and not just the Greek system, she'll be able to move on and find her niche.
