I don't know how FSU would handle this, but I know when I was in school, we had a woman go through rush who had to miss pref night due to the marching band being out of town. She wrote a letter to each chapter that had invited her to preference explaining why she was unable to attend but that she was interested in being a member.
The letter was very well written and our rush chair read the letter to the chapter before prefs started so that we knew why she was not there. She ended up getting a bid and was a great addition!
