That's right. Remember that recruitment is a "mutual selection process". We all know that we cannot and should not reinvite every woman to every round. The women in questions may not have been reinvited to certain chapters due to release figures etc. I know that we have released women that were "on the bubble" so to speak and would not have released them if we had been able to invite a few more women.
Some of these women may also have been COB and not have had the opportunity to meet all the chapters. We had a woman that joined out chapter that had been a new member of a group that closed two semesters before. She was an outstanding member and was eventually our New Member Orientation Chair (AXiD term for "pledge trainer").
Another thing to remember is that when a chapter leaves campus and women are given alumnae status they are usually not involved if the group comes back on. I know that this is usually the case because they want the group to be completely new and to start over without the baggage of the original group. So if these women are freshman and initiated, they would have a chapter on their campus but would not be able to be involved with it.
Of course if you are going to throw the group coming back to campus in a short period of time into the mix then there are other options for these women as well. If they were not initiated into the "old" chapter they would still be able to pledge the "new" chapter if it was desirable by both sides.
