It is much harder to recieve a bid as a Sophmore at Auburn then it would be as a Freshman, especially if your daughter is limiting herself to only 4 out of the 16 sororities on campus (which is how I interpreted your remarks above). The Panhellenic office might be able to tell you how many Sophmores get bids each year, but I doubt they are going to be able to tell you how many get bids to just certain sororites (i.e. the 4 your daughter likes).
I would encourage her to think long and hard about joining the sorority that COB'ed her and remind her that if she passes this one up too (because I think you said she passed up the first COB), it will get increasingly harder to join a sorority. If she's truly in it for the sisterhood and not just for the prestige, she should be able to find a home in more then just her top four sororities!
That said, if she really doesn't like this sorority and wants to hold out and rerush next fall, she's going to have to keep her grades up, get involved in campus, and if possible, befriend some of the actives in the sororities she does want to join. Even with all of that, it may be difficult for her next year.
Good luck to her and to you!
