My daughter decided not to rush. None of the friends she's made so far wanted to, and she's acting too timid to go on her own. She did audition and will know what band she's in next week. While whether or not to rush was a decision she definitely needed to make on her own, I'm disappointed that she didn't look into sorority life to discover first hand whether it would be a good fit or not. Honestly I think she was scared off by the stupid hazing that occurred at our neighboring high school.
The adjustment being away from home is hard. We hear from her at least once a day (today we talked three times). I keep telling her to look for opportunities to get involved and to be proactive in making evening and weekend plans with her friends. I know things will get easier for her in time. We're just looking forward to the first day we don't hear from her
, then we'll know she's alright!
