I have all boys, so like srmom I probably have a different perspective than if I had girls. I very much want them to at least think about rushing, as I believe that GLO membership is a good thing. Then again, I'm clearly biased! My husband was not greek, neither were our Fathers, so there isn't a legacy tradition there for them.
My oldest will be off to college somewhere in Fall 2009, and he's already made it very clear to me that he will not join a Fraternity. Period, he doesn't care about the benefits or experiences associated with membership. I'm hoping that he keeps an open mind and once he gets to college he'll see it isn't all parties, but in the end I doubt he'll pledge. I wish he would, but am not holding my breath.
Who knows about the next two, who will be off to college in Fall 2010 and Fall 2014. Like the oldest, I hope they'll each keep an open mind about Fraternity membership. It wouldn't surprise me if either or both rushed and joined, but we'll see when the time comes.
