If she dropped out, that means she rejected some chapters - they didn't reject her. Of course that is her right, but I think it important to point out that her not getting a bid is because she chose to opt out of the system. That may have hurt her in terms of spring recruitment.
I was dropped by my legacy chapter during rush (after bursting into tears at a party after finding out my aunt had died of breast cancer) which I had gone into rush assuming I would pledge, but I figured out that I would rather be with a group that really wanted and loved me rather than one that took me because I was a legacy. I'm not being critical - I just want to give a different perspective.
I'm glad she has been active on campus, and hope she is happy no matter what course of action she decides to pursue.

My daughter only had one invite back when she dropped out. She did not want to pledge a sorority that she did not feel comfortable in just to be in one. After round 1 she only had 3 invites back and after round 2 only 1. I really think she made a wise decision to drop out.
Yes she was cut by my sorority and I understand that they can in no way extend invites to all legacies as that would be impossible. Unfortunately being a 4X UGA legacy to this UGA chapter closed many doors for her at other sororities. When they have to make huge cuts after round one it is understandable that seeing her rec with such a legacy she would be an easy cut.
If she does go through again in the Fall should she not list her legacies ? Any thoughts..
