It's not completely impossible to get a bid as a sophomore - I just got a bid to Alpha Chi and my roommate is pledging Chi O. Another friend of ours dropped during rush last year and just got a bid to Alpha Gam. It's really about meeting lots of girls and getting involved on campus!
This it true. One of my daughter's suitemates was engaged during her freshman year and did not go through rush. The engagement was called off. So she ended up making lots of friends through her suitemates contacts and signing up for Freshman Forum. She pledged (I forget what) last fall as a sophomore.

Suggest that your daughter interview for Freshman Forum ... that should be gearing up soon. Also, coax her to keep her grades up and be initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, which is the Freshman Honor Society. If she DOES wait until next fall to rush again, exemplary campus activities could be her fresh ticket to her favorite Greek house.
