Not that that makes any sense, but you see what I have to work with here.
If the goal is to ensure that women look at all the chapters then there would be an additional requirement. 8 doesn't make sense as a required number, and having a required number that takes 3 days into consideration doesn't make sense even if no rounds were invitational.
However, what she says (or tries to say) later makes more sense, you have to go to the FIRST 8 parties to be allowed to join as the 3rd day's parties aren't counted in the total. That makes a lot more sense and it means that the night she had class wasn't even taken into consideration.
So, based on what I can understand, she attended 6 parties the first two nights and had class the third night so she only attended 2. In reality she should have attended all 8 the first two nights (and appears to have no excuse not to have done so except misunderstanding) and then been fine to miss 2 on the last night.
ETA: It's unclear how her class affected this "I had class for one" isn't really clear.

This ^ is how I'm understanding it as well.
OP this is a lesson learned in making sure you ask questions if you are unsure about rules. Stop concentrating on what the school did wrong. The school is unlikely to care. Instead, if you still want to join a sorority, concentrate on COB and let whatever unfairness there is go.
And do NOT regale the sororities with stories of your experience during COB. That is not a recipe for success.
