It almost sounds as though a lottery system may have been the best plan this year?

I know emotions are high right now. I'm a mom of a daughter too and I can only share what I would/will tell my daughter when the time comes:
"Sorority membership really is a lifetime gift no matter what chapter offers you a bid. First, you had to work hard and make grades just to get accepted into college. Then you had to make the grade cut just to go through recruitment. Then you had to make to cuts just to be offered a bid. That puts you in a pretty small group of elite (hate that word) girls."
I would really discourage my daughter from dropping out of recruitment and encourage her to at least try her new member period. She can't see that far into the future but, as a mom, you can. I think you said you were in a sorority? You know the lifelong friendships you've made and the benefits of sorority life. I think these benefits can be found in the majority of chapters of
every sorority regardless of popularity on campus.
