I guess my only advice for you, mom, is to be supportive of your daughter's decision. But, you have to let your daughter make that decision, as she's the one who will be making the commitments/living with the consequences that come with whatever she decides.
As for advice for your daughter (yes, I realize she didn't solicit it, but her mom asked, nonetheless)... There are many excellent reasons to join a particular sorority. There are also many excellent reasons not to join a particular sorority. If she's in it for the sisterhood, philanthropy, social outlets, etc., then she's going to get what she's looking for no matter which group she joins (assuming everything I've heard about AU sororities is true). If she's looking for a particularly-lettered feather in her cap, then she obviously has her mind made up. She's really the only one who can make this choice, and nothing anyone here says will make much of a difference.
She can always depledge before she initiates if she decides that sorority life is right for her, but this particular sorority isn't (if she initiates, she can't ever join another group). This could very likely affect her in the future (should she decide to rush again), but it's still an option.
