Part of this was very confusing to me as well. I asked a question on another thread about it (the part about her ability to go through recruitment again so soon. yes, because it is a colony). No, this has been the saga for 8 months. Here is the time line:

Went through formal fall rush (all NPC chapters represented)--dropped out because she didn't like her choices.
Found out that there was an NPC recolonizing at her university. Pledged, went to a number of events, depledged.
Mom went to Panhellenic and complained that her daughter had trouble due to a physical disability. Daughter was granted permission to go through recruitment either through COB and/ or spring formal (not all chapters participate in spring formal.)
Went through COB with one house. Went to an event. Was told by a friend that her chapter didn't vote on "anyone" because they didn't get around to it.
Spring Formal: done over 3 days (as opposed to 5 for fall formal recruitment). Girl had 2 or 3 houses that she would consider (out of 8 houses, not all houses participate). Girl dropped from all houses, except 1, that were acceptable after the first day. Second day (for Pref) her invite was for 1 house that she didn't want. Dropped out.

Plans for the future: To do COB in the fall, after formal recruitment, to go to the popular houses where she feels that they are worthy of her presence.
