Although I'm a fraternity member so technically this is a lane swerve, the larger theme behind this thread is essentially "first impressions" which we are all familiar with. I wouldn't talk about a bad high school experience. I think that the question is unlikely to come up in the first place, and I definitely wouldn't bring it into the question.

First impressions should be about positivity. I'm not saying she should lie, but I think stating that you had a bad time in high school a) would sound negative and b) might invite the thought that: "Oh, this PNM was shy and boring in high school by her own admission, and that means she's going to be shy and boring in Delta Delta Fabulous. On to the next one." Obviously that's not what your daughter will be trying to say, but it could be interpreted as that. Back when I was in college (which wasn't that long ago), that's pretty much how I would have interpreted a rushee saying that to me.
