aumom,
I have two sons in college and recently served as an advisor. I won't lie, there is a lot of partying in college these days. There was a lot of partying in my day, too. The difference is that we were typically partying with 3.2 beer (legal at 18) and many of the girls today party with hard liquor(legally or illegally obtained). Back in the day, we spent a lot of time in line for the one bathroom in the bar, drastically cutting down on the actual amount of weak beer that we consumed. Current drinkers spend a lot of time knocking back strong, sweet, candy like drinks. Of course this is a generalization, but it's what I have experienced.
The sororities will have a huge mixture of women--ranging from extremely conservative and religious to wild child, and everything in between. She would be able to find kindred spirits in all of the chapters.
Regarding the roommate, some of that could be shocktalk. If your daughter is a straignt arrow, and has made that clear verbally or non-verbally, the roomie could be exagerating for effect. Maybe it was a conversation that simply went south. Hopefully she isn't as wild as she said. If so, maybe she won't be in college long....At any rate, your daughter will spend most of her time with her new sisters. Yea!! Best of Luck to her and all the AU PNMs!!
