I hope she did stay on! On my campus, the Chapter that I'm in is considered one of the bottom houses. I joined as an upperclassman with no recs, and didn't really know anything about rankings until after I'd accepted a bid. HOWEVER, we've been rocking it at recruitment for last year, and COB. We've started getting members who really want to be there, and people have started to notice. My pledge class is small (came in during informal COB) but we're all super dedicated and try to set an example for the pledge classes below us.
All of that aside, I've had an amazing experience so far. I've made so many good friends, my pledge class is super tight-- we've participated and done well in Derby Days and other big philanthropy events that we hadn't participated in for YEARS. People are wearing our letters out around on campus again... It's been great to see.
Getting one or two good pledge classes that really want to be there and are excited about it can breathe life into a struggling chapter. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. I love my sisters and I would encourage everyone who might have gotten a bid at a chapter that they consider "low tier" or whatever, to put ego aside for a second and give those girls a chance.
