My impression was that she simply likes Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta way above #3, who consistently ranked last or near the bottom of her list. At no time during our conversation did she say that #3 was unpopular or "ranked" low on campus. Sorority #3 may, in fact, be a "popular" house on campus. I don't know.
She has two close friends in recruitment. Lets call them ABC and XYZ.
ABC had two selections available on Preference Day: Kappa Delta and #2, a sorority she always ranked last during elimination rounds. ABC named only Kappa Delta at the end of Preference Day.
XYZ had Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta and #3 (it may have been a different #3), like my daughter, as her options on Preference Day. XYZ similarly rejected #3 as an option following Preference Day.
As of 2:00 PM EST, none of the girls received the dreaded call signifying they would not receive a bid. Hopefully, they are past that point.
At 2:45 PM EST, they are supposed to meet with the recruitment organizers.

I don't doubt that those are your daughter's words and not yours, but I still believe that they indicate #3 is a weak chapter. We hear this with just about every recruitment story that comes through Greekchat so unless you want to out Group #3, excuse me if I don't believe that #3 is the most popular group that your daughter just decided she couldn't be a part of no matter what.
P.S. Glad your daughter at Bama has done so well. I was really disgusted at how terribly you were treated over her affiliation.
