About Auburn Recruitment NEED ADVICE PLEASE

My daughter has had a very disappointing time in recruitment this week. On the day they were to get 12 invititations she only recieved 4. Now those 4 have cut her down to 2. My questions would be this:
1. What do they base their cuts on? I have heard that the first cuts from 16 to 12 are based solely on GPA. My daughter has a GPA of 3.5. Is that not good enough to be in a sorority at Auburn? What other reasons could there be for being cut. Her Pi Chi hasn't been much help to her at all. She was really devastated that her favorite two sororities cut her. She has admirable career plans. She even has plans that fit exactly with one of those sororities philanthropies so she was really excited about that. In fact at the ice water tea she met more girls at that particular sororities party than any other. They REALLY acted interested in her and her career goals. I would just really like to know why she was cut.
2. my 2nd question would be - is there ANY chance if she drops out tomorrow after the prefs (if she even gets invited back to any) that one of these sororities that she likes would consider her during COB? I just really need some HONEST answers from someone who has been through this at Auburn, please?
We are devastated. She is a very good girl with great character and skills. She has been a leader in our community and also in our Church and has done many volunteer projects. She plans on being VERY active in organizations during her time at AU and also continuing her volunteer work there as well as being actively involved in a local Church in Auburn.
I am not going to mention the name of the Church.
I was of the idea that her resume looked excellent and that she is an excellent young lady that would add a lot to any sorority she decided to join. I would just like to know what y'all think. Was her GPA not good enough? Could it strictly been based on her personality? Which I happen to think is great. She is an attractive girl too.
Please we need to know what to do about this. Should she go ahead and accept a bid or wait it out for COB? What if she doesn't get a bid in COB? Does she stand a chance later on? She really wants to be in a sorority to be in a dorm next year and also it helps with her resume to be in a sorority as she will be applying to Med School eventually. Besides, she just wants to be apart of things at Auburn and make friends. She has heard so much about the sorority experience from her Mom (me).
Although my sorority is not at Auburn.
She also had letters of recommendation for each sorority at Auburn.
Ok, I will wait to see if anyone can help me with this.
Thanks
