As non Ole Miss mother, but a mother (who did have a daughter go through a year ago at a very competitive school) I will tell you this: The hardest part is not being there to hold her hand. Admittedly, my daughter didn't want to rush, didn't want to join, but she rushed and joined. But I wanted to turn back the clock and have it be kindergarten when I could hold her little hand. And I wanted to smack the girl who, to my older daughter, came out of the closet and felt she couldn't trust my daughter to keep her secret. And then she dinged my daughter. One joined, one didn't...and they both had wonderful college experiences.
You'll hear all sorts of stuff, good and bad. Take a really deep breath and know that this is the drama of rush. In the end she'll be ok because that is how you raised her to be a strong young woman.
