Too much Greek life?

My D will be starting out at Elon next month. She seems open to the Greek concept although it doesn’t seem to jive with her generally liberal lean. We’ll see. Regarding cars and shopping, Elon is a great place to walk but you can’t walk to a grocery store. There’s complete shopping a few miles away (near I-40) but only a quickie store/gas station next to campus. But from what I’ve heard there’s decent food on-campus and the dorms don’t provide much as far as food prep options anyway (combo fridge/zapper). We’re debating whether to let my D take the old Honda or leave it here for her sister to use in HS. I’m not convinced every student needs a car. I think many will have them and will help others when needed. Having said that, if one want’s to be fully independent or travel to some different places (beach, mountains or even Chapel Hill etc.) without group plans a car would seem like a big plus.
