This is a tough decision so I'll tell you what I'd tell my own daughter if she was going through recruitment right now.
1. Don't worry about it until you actually go through recruitment. You may not even end up with that chapter at Pref. Or, you may fall in love with that chapter after meeting the girls--who knows?
2. You may get to Pref and have only that chapter. In that case, I say accept the bid because I still think the benefits of being Greek outweigh the disadvantages of being in a smaller chapter. Your sorority is for a lifetime.
3. If you get to Pref and have two possibilities--the WRC and one other, rank them how you like them. If you "suicide", you have a chance of not receiving a bid at all. If you "maximize your options," you at least have your new member period to give the chapter a chance. Correct me if I'm wrong other GCers but from what I've seen, recruitements are rarely more successful the 2nd time around unless there's a grade issue.
I would want my daughter to at least try Greek life during a new member period.
