Why can't she "be herself" and be clear about where she's interested in? If anything, if I was a NY sister and she took a bid from my house after she was offered one the year before... Well I think its kinda like begging. She said no before, why ask again?
I am not encouraging her to lie...I am encouraging her to keep her options open. Her first recruitment was tough and, depending on her campus, she could be at an even bigger disadvantage as a sophomore. I do not want her to go into this year's recruitment dead set on two houses (which is kind of what happened last recruitment) and be disappointed if that does not work out again. Conversely, there are other houses on campus other than the three she routinely cut that might be be looking at her unless they have already heard she is after xyz and abc only.

She should definitely be herself...but a successful recruitment involves more than that - otherwise there wouldn't be a need for so many advice threads in the world!
