She only received 4 invites out a possible 10 for the second round, one of which was her legacy chapter (an awful fit), two more were terrible fits, and one that seemed like a good fit. She was cut by all the remaining chapters after round 2.

I never asked her what her GPA was, but I refuse to believe it could have been anything but her grades. Sophomores get bids all the time at Maryland. Plenty of girls heavier than her get bids. She didn't evangelize to me, so I doubt she evangelized to anyone else. Plus, the randomness of the chapters she was invited to kind of pointed toward grades, not like it was just "bottom tier" chapters.

I sure hope it was her grades, because I was upset that my chapter cut her!

If you really believe it was just her grades, why did you think it was important to tell us about her size and appearance?

I suspect there are a ton of beautiful girls with low GPAs that get a pass because of their appearance.
