Listen, I hated high school, was shy and awkward and was afraid of everything and everybody. I decided to push myself in college and therefore went out for recruitment.
And guess what - there are PLENTY of people who were the same way in high school. Yes, in the sororities! She may find a few sorority members who are into hard partying, but she will find just as many or more who are serious about school...but not all the time! That's the beauty of it - there's usually a range of experiences within one group. And young people change so much over that 4 years.
She will get only a few questions about high school, and most will be related to her activities, which don't have to be school activities. The good thing about recruitment is that she doesn't really have to do that much talking...but she should give more than "yes" or "no" answers. Talk about the things she enjoys or is interested in. She can make a mental list of questions to ask or topics to bring up if there's a lull. Even the sorority girls go blank while talking.
And get those recs!
