D entered college very much opposed to the idea of going Greek. She never liked the notion of it based on what she understood it to be. She heard all the same stories about Greek culture and formed a negative opinion. However, like beautyistruth suggests, once she had a chance to see it up close and meet some of the people her thinking on the eventually changed. Turned out not to be what she imagined.

She still doesn’t drink, still studies hard, and basically, is the same as always. The parties aren’t new for her as she was going to them anyway. The only difference now is that she seems to have three times as many “great” friends, and a more active social calendar. I’m sure the experience varies from person to person, but it’s worked out very well for D it seems. Hence, I’m guessing she’d also advise others not to be too quick to pass judgement.

Last time I was there dropping her off I had a chance to meet and talk with several of her sorority friends and their parents. I don’t know, maybe they have me completely hoodwinked, but I came away thinking they were some of the nicest girls I’ve ever met.
