Certainly there had to be room for cutting Sally Slorepants even if she was a quadruple legacy? But obviously these moms are getting this concept of a guaranteed bid from somewhere?

My guess would be that the mom's who do the over-dramatized, "I'm not paying for any sorority but ABC," "HOW DARE YOU CUT MY DAUGHTER!?!!" thing are probably either A. used to getting their way, so they think a bid is guaranteed, or B. completely self-centered and have a feeling of high entitlement, so they think a bid is guaranteed.
It's one thing to be a little hurt (or hurting, or let down, or whatever) if your daughter is cut by the chapter on her campus, or the chapter on your own campus, but I would guess that the cray cray mamas are in the minority. Of course, what do I know?
