Ju-jake and cheesy sororities: your advice, please!

[carnation]

Okay, my fifth daughter is a high school sophomore and she has watched as my first and third daughters rushed successfully and our second didn't. (Number 4, a high school junior, is a born Greek, no problem.) Anyway, she said, "I don't think I want to go Greek, it seems kind of cheesy and I can make my own friends."

I could tell her about what it's done for me but I'm her mother and it's a rule that one listens to others before they listen to Mom! I could tell her about lifelong friendships, career connections, fantastic times, and how un-cheesy my sorority was but maybe you guys have a better idea of what to tell a hesitant, horse-loving high schooler.

Any advice? What would you say to "Ju-jake" about why your GLOs mean so much to you?
