I've seen it happen at my campus. Also, with "popular" chapters, they no doubt have to cut PNMs that they do genuinely like because of the number given to them by Panhellenic.
What is weird is that:
1. They called her during preference round (how did they know she had no invitations?).
2. They called her during preference round (how did they know they would not make quota?).
3. They called her and gave her a reason for her release.
Your daughter should attend any events they invite her to if she likes this chapter. She should focus on her opportunities rather than the reasons (and their validity) this may have happened, because there's really no way to know.

I agree that all of that is weird, but I've seen a lot of collegians do whatever they thought was right instead of checking the rules first to see what really is correct in a situation. I wonder if their school gives out a list of women who have been dropped from recruitment? It could also be that they called Panhel when they noticed her name wasn't on the list. They may not have wanted to actually cut her. We actually had the opposite situation once. On my campus, the panhel delegates would keep track of who was invited back to each round and hand deliver the list each night. Our panhel rep went to the bathroom during MS and didn't hear us cut a girl the night before pref. The next day, she was on our list and all hell broke loose. She came to our party and ended up pledging our chapter. Weird, huh?! It all worked out in the end, but my point is that stranger things have happened in recruitment!
