Concur. 95% of my freshman year friends weren't greek (and most of that 5% who were Greek were aiming for the NPHC, so they weren't Greek at the time and I didn't know they were interested in it
)
Basically,
do your own thang. It will make you happier in the long run, even if you have to listen to people say they no longer respect you, tease you about being a slut, or ponder at your shallowness. (Been there, done that.) DubaiSis is right- go with what you know about Greek Life and block it out.
Also, don't try and persuade her to go through recruitment, as I did with one of my friends. You end up fighting about who is right about Greek Life, and it just perpetuates the arguments you don't want to have.
You also get a better change to get close with girls in your Rho Gam group which is fabulous!
Finally, make sure to keep your non-greek friends. You'll need them on days when sorority life is too crazy. I lived with non-greeks until my senior year, and it was nice to come home to people who weren't obsessed with Greek Week and Pomping.
Good luck!
