Here's my deal...she did EXACTLY what most of the posters on GC would ask of her. She went through the whole process and gave it a shot. She went to the pref party she wasn't sure of, she went to bid day when she wasn't thrilled and she gave her pledge class a go at it. She didn't feel it, so she didn't take the vows that we each hold so dear of our organizations.
I don't know her, but I personally don't fault her. I would write the rec, and if it was a glowing one before...it would be the same now (unless her grades changed or something else). Would I mention it in my rec? Not sure. You didn't say how she'd treated her ex-pledge sisters (and you probably don't know) but was she running around the dorm trashing XYZ after she de-pledged, or did she do so gracefully? Those are the types of things I would be concerned about.
I'm sure there are those who don't agree with me, but if she's handled herself with grace and like an adult, I would have no problem writing the rec again.
