Question #1: Are your COR parties invite only? If not, they should be. Each sister should be inviting women she feels are already interested in YOUR sorority. Chalking and flyering and completely open parties often attract women who are only interested in A sorority. The whole point of COR is to have a more laid back atmosphere for women who just don't like all the craziness of formal rush. It's not to throw a safety net to everyone who didn't get a bid.

Question #2: Some women go through recruitment very single mindedly. They say it is XYZ and only XYZ for me. Once they have been cut and have a chance to look around, they often look at someone that's either the opposite of XYZ, or else they realize they want a sorority that is really like themselves, not like some unreal image they were hoping they could achieve had they been given a bid. That's why someone who has cut you might end up wanting to go through your COR.

Again, though, there shouldn't be women at COR who treated your chapter unkindly during fornmal - it should be women who cut you because they had to cut someone. It's usually easy to tell the difference.
