Not feeling well, wheezing, lack of sleep, cat-tivating roommate, emotions on edge...not the best scenario for an 18 year old to make wise decisions, is it? Recruitment can be brutal, even under the best of circumstances, so it's no wonder they just want the decisions to be over!
But I think your instincts are correct, Mom. Unless she would be miserable in any house but that ONE, then she should MAXIMIZE her options and return to every house, rank every chapter she visits, particularly this early in the game. If after prefs, she knows she would rather not be greek than to pledge a certain house, that's different. Even then, it's a tough decision to make on campuses that lean toward freshmen for NMs and don't do much informal recruiting because everyone makes quota/total.
