My daughter is starting her senior year of HS on Wednesday
As we have been discussing the schools she would be interested in attending, she has mentioned several times that she is anti-greek. While we were taking a tour of one school in April, the tour guide mentioned she is in a sorority and rushed in her sophmore year because she wanted to experience everything college life had to experience. My daughter's ears perked a bit at that statement. I am looking forward to see her decision. Should she go through rush, my rule is "Follow your heart. If you pledge KD, great, we will be sisters, if you pledge another house, I hope you love it as much as I love KD". We are all individuals. What is right for one person is not necessarily right for another, even your own offspring.
Go through rush, have a great time, and follow your heart. Do not let your mother live your life for you-- if you do, you will only feel resentment. Should you pledge a house your mother feels is up to her level but you do not love with all your heart, it will make life miserable for you and development resentment toward your mother.
Good luck. You are now an adult. Live your own life, not your mother's.
