One of the girls going through rush got a call from home - her dad had been rushed to the hospital for heart surgery. She dropped out of rush, and told her Rho Chi that she hated to drop because she had her heart set on ASA, but she had her priorities.
A few days later, she was back at school. We heard what happened, and since we were one under quota and we really liked her, a bunch of us went over to her dorm with balloons to extend her a snap bid.
Wendy's door was decorated by another sorority (where her roommate had a bid). She opened the door and looked horrified, telling us that we were making a mistake - that she had dropped out of rush. We explained snap bidding, and she started crying, because she had thought it was all over as far as sorority as an option. Happy ending all around.
Not saying this is likely, just that you want to keep all your options open. Tell your Rho Chi and Panhel your situation - make sure everyone knows why you are dropping. Family emergencies (and horses are family!) are viewed WAY differently than dropping for other reasons. Let them know how enthusiastic you are about joining.
Hope the horse is better soon - they're awful fragile for being such big beasts!!!
