I'm not telling her to not tell the truth - that she wasn't ready for the commitment to a sorority is definitely truthful. I'm just saying that not doing something because none of your friends were doing it is a little immature, and if a rushee said it to me, I would definitely have second thoughts about her. As you said, she needs to concentrate on now, not then, as she's done some growing up over the past year.

Back in the olden days when I went through "rush", we loved taking sophmores as they had already finished a year of school (we did formal rush in fall), knew what was expected of them to pass their classes and knew whether or not they could afford the time needed to commit to the house.
Best wishes for a fantastic recruitment experience

I agree. I think you can be honest without mentioning the opinions of your friends. I would try something like "I didn't know if it was right for me last year, but this year I know more about the Greek community and my ability to handle the time commitment, and I know it is the right choice now." This makes you sound like you have educated yourself, and you are making a more mature commitment.
