ETA: Even if the mother in this scenario had brought in 20 new members on her own and saved the chapter, the daughter should have been aware of it, in some manner!
That's why I said "if they've filled out the proper paperwork."

However, WLFEO said:

In my opinion, they are not.

But what about the alumnae who have stayed active? They are members of alumnae associations, have served as a volunteer for the the sorority in some capacity (advisor, AA officer, task force, national officer, etc.)? Shouldn't their daughter be given a little more consideration?
That to me sounds almost like bribery - "you stay active and go to alum chapter meetings and keep paying yearly dues, we'll get your daughter in." Regardless of what the daughter herself brings to the table. I don't think that is right.
