I might be a little late on this part of the thread, but on the whole drinking/not drinking thing for the first few weeks of school until recruitment starts, I say don't. I know drinking is widely accepted across campus, and honestly probably wouldn't affect anything before rush, but all it takes is rubbing one person the wrong way to lose your dream house. The chances are unlikely that anything would happen, but I just wouldn't take that chance. And honestly, it's only 5 weekends that you would have to lay low. Before I went through rush, I would still go out and socialize, but I would drive for my friends in my dorm that were drinking. Being a DD for 5 weeks won't kill you socially, and it makes for an excellent excuse for if you are offered alcohol while out. (That being said, I've never heard of a sorority girl forcing alcohol upon an underaged teenager ESPECIALLY before rush. And if you have problems saying no to that if it does happen, there are some bigger problems here. But I digress.)
Good luck and have fun, but if you or your daughter are worried about your/her chances during recruitment, don't take any chances. It's better safe than sorry, especially with something that's so important.
