We had that same problem too. When I was a rho chi, one of my PNMs was accidentally released from XYZ. She registered for recruitment as "Xiao-Min Chan" because that was her legal name, but she went by "Jenny Chan". There was another woman whose legal name actually was Jenny Chan; she was registered for recruitment but never turned up. So XYZ released the wrong Jenny - Xiao-Min. The problem was caught in time, and Xiao-Min pledged XYZ. (Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
