Which sororities are very active at Western/SW schools?

I re-read some of my posts. It may have also caused confusion that I referred to my very own mother in a post (who attended my alma mater as well), as she always had quite a few interesting stories to tell over the years about early college life when women were in the minority on campus. She has since passed away as well.

My mother always felt guilty she couldn't afford to pay for me to go to college (let alone join a sorority), but I assured her it wasn't her fault. I probably could have pursued financial aid for that as well, but didn't feel I had the time to devote to sorority life. I was overwhelmed after my father died with all I had to do for her -- teaching her to drive, write checks, etc. while attending a very difficult school.

I only tell you *that* story so you know why I tend to be too *active* in making sure my daughter has a great college experience. Even my husband has had to remind me to lay off on occasion, so I accept your wise suggestions as well. No harm was ever meant, I assure you. Thanks again to everyone!

Last try: My daughter has expressed an interest in rushing next year, but has not shown enough interest to research here or anywhere else, certainly not at this point. I had hoped to gather some info here myself to help her and to help my husband and I in understanding sorority life. I think some interest is very legit, especially since we would be the ones paying for her sorority experience.

Coming from California we hear a lot of really WILD Greek stories (even from a very well respected Cali school) directly from parents of Greek students, and I wanted to be more informed before she rushed next year.

End of my story. My questions have been answered.
