I guess my point was that not everyone who starts recruitment and wants to be in a sorority will get a bid no matter how open minded they are. I agree that in many cases it's because the girls will only consider the top tier houses and that's their own fault. However it doesn't sound like momto2gals's daughter had that attitude. So why was she cut? Who knows... Like others have said PNMs are required to rank the houses and someone has to be last on the list, so they're pretty much at the mercy of the chapters that invite them back.
momto2gals - if your daughter still wants to be in a sorority she can go to go to the greek life office and sign up for COB. There's no guarantee that the houses she really liked will do COB or that she'll get a bid out of it but she might end up finding another house that she likes just as much. But I agree with others it might be good to back off a little and let your daughter figure out how she wants to continue on her own. She might decide that she's more interested in other campus groups and that sorority life isn't as much of a priority as she thought. I know a bunch of people who go to or went to Auburn and only 1 of them is in a sorority, and she didn't pledge until her sophomore year. All of them love it and wouldn't trade their experience at Auburn for anything so I'm sure your daughter will find her niche.
auburnmom and elaine - how's it going for your girls?
