I've said it before and undoubtedly will say it again, if it's YOU getting cut, it's COMPETITIVE. She went through an extremely competitive rush FOR HER. It didn't go well, and again if my guess was right, it wasn't resolved positively until a chapter colonized in her junior/senior year (VCU maybe?) and then she lived happily ever after.
But I think it's a vast presumption that the sororities, even at the super duper Greek schools cut all girls in the scenarios given. Sophomores and even junior girls DO get offered membership at those schools. They have to be the whole enchilada with extra sauce, but even if that girl did have a lousy first rush and she did accept the bid to "that house" which she eventually dropped out of, she could STILL get a bid next time. Even at super duper Greek school. It's just not common, and that's where we advise girls to not get their hearts too set. Yes it CAN happen, but you better be ready for some cuts because the IT chapter on campus will have 200 whole enchiladas with extra sauce to choose from.
