It sounds like your daughter has a ton of things in common with me! (Being that I am a band/orchestra person...my degree is in music!).
If she has been involved in those activities since junior high (which is highly likely) then she will be in for a shock when she suddenly doesn't participate in anything! Band and orchestra are a great friend base, and so is Greek Life! I feel that Greek Life is especially suited for people like us who are used to being part of a big group and supporting each other! I adapted very well!
I would suggest definitely going through rush! Also, give those auditions a try. The worst they can say is no...plus, I feel like a lot of new students are really intimidated and think that everyone else plays phenomenally better than them, but that is just not true! Everyone was a freshman once!
So rush, YES!!!! Do not wait! Rush now!
Auditions, YES!!!!! If she has prepared reportoire! This can wait until the Spring if she wants to practice or feel things out.
