Is it fair to take the pnm and spend only 40 minutes to decide ? This being from rounds 1 & 2. While I know there were many legacies I wonder how many went through with that statistic. While this pnm had many recs at other houses, do you not think that they looked at the 4x legacy and decided to cut because they assumed she would choose that house. 1300 girls,they had to make cuts where they could. I think in my daughters situation her families commitment to greek life actually hurt her in the long run.

You may want to find out about what your Nationals legacy requirement is - how many rounds they need to be invited to, if they need to be on the bid list after a certain round, etc.
I know that there are several (if not most) NPC groups with a stipulation that if a legacy makes it to the pref round, she
must be on that chapter's first bid list. Don't know all the rules for all the organizations, but its possible that your org could have a rule that says "you have to invite a legacy to second round, but have to release them by X time if you don't plan to put them on the 1st bid list." If the chapter wasn't certain that they wanted a particular legacy to be on the first bid list, it may force them to release her. (Especially at a school w/tons of legacies.)
Since MS rules are private, we here at GC can't tell you what your group's policy is. But as an initiated member, you certainly get that information if you wanted it. It could at least give you an idea of whether your daughter was relased when she was. (Not specifics, of course, but at least knowing whether it might have been due to a policy issue or not.)
