All of which leads me to believe the rushee really didn't want anything to do with rush but went through it to please mom and grandma and it was easier to blame not getting a bid on the chapter.

Yup. We had a situation last year where the girl did not let us know that she was a legacy on her PHC form, and her sister (who had
just graduated from the house and was
not in good standing) did not fill out a rec of any kind, or any introduction, or any email or phone call, and then raised all kinds of cain when the chapter cut her sister.
I wish that there was not a campus culture of "let's cut this girl because she's a legacy and is OBVIOUSLY going to go to house XYZ - why waste the space in our invite list on her?" It's hard for me, because I went to a school where there was not that culture. It was more towards the "rush her harder - we'll steal her away" attitude. But both of those attitudes are somewhat detrimental to the PNM.
