Gatorgirl!
Your friend is probably nervous about going off to a biiig campus like UF and having everything in her life change. She's thinking, "What if I don't get a bid? What if I don't make any friends? What if Gatorgirl gets a bunch of new friends and I'm all alone?"
Just keep talking about rush in general terms and try not to let her pin you down to promises. Since rush groups tend to be divided alphabetically, chances are that you'll hardly see her during rush anyway. She's probably thinking you'll be getting your returns at the same time and sitting together and planning which parties you'll return to..and that won't happen.
Not to mention that you can hardly promise her that y'all will even get invitations from the same groups...just keep being vague, like, "Well, we'll see what happens!" Remember that she's scared but don't let her back you into a corner. And maybe she should come to GC and learn about rush! (In which case you might want to edit this thread!) Then she'd see how both on campus and off, Greeks enjoy mingling with members of other groups!
