And also, they had a 95% recruitment last year.
I am not sure if this is the norm or not but just thought I would pass on the information I received.

I hope I didn't seem too pessimistic previously or that I diminished the accomplishment of being a newspaper editor.
Can you actually ask them what the placement rate was for girls with your daughter's average? Do they track that level of information?
I'm just a little nervous because I've never heard of a greek life office ever discouraging a person from going through recruitment, so I don't know how much you can rely on their encouragement as a truly good sign.
(For example, they always don't tell people directly that not being a freshman can hurt you, but at some schools where they omit this info. it does.)
