Daughter had unhappy High School experience, should she not mention this during Rush?

So my daughter & I have been lurking around here and find all the posts, comments and stickies very informative. She will be an incoming freshman at a fairly competitive school (according to your lists) and we were discussing what to say/not to say during Rush. She didn't have the most ideallic High School experience, to say the least. She got great grades, 3.7u/w 4.0 weighted, NHS, CSF, 4 years community service club, 3 years volleyball and over 400 hours Hospital volunteer. She also worked last year and is working this year as a camp counselor at our country club. The problem is that she is very shy so she didn't do a lot of dating or going to parties, proms etc... Was never asked out on a date, even though she is very pretty, tall and thin. Came to find out that some guys thought she was a little stuck up, mistaking her shyness. So our discussion comes from this dilemma..If asked she wants to be honest about how miserable she thought High School was and I think she might come across as being a negative person. She says she doesn't want to "sugar coat" her experiences but that the reason she is going through Rush is to start over and meet new and exciting people who have more in common with her. Sorry, so long, just trying to word it so it comes out right. She has about 6 recs from very good alumni's out of the 16 houses. (Her University claims that recs are not necessary so she is not pursuing anymore). The question I guess we are asking, is how honest should she be if the subject of High School comes up? What would be a tactful yet truthful way to answer any questions regarding her experiences?
