Unfortunately, unless you are present during voting.. you never know what happened.

I will not bother asking what house.. but I will ask the school.

Different chapters... different schools have different policies. For example, my chapter only dropped a legacy one time, while I was an active. There were several issues, grades among them. Her mother sent a letter with her RIF explaining that her daughter's grades were not up-to-par, etc. We called and spoke with her, during rush and let her know that she would be invited back to round two, due to fraternity rules, but not round three. We hoped that she found a home, if she did not, she should work on grades. If we lost any seniors in December that we would invite her in the Spring. She found a home and everyone was happy! We could take two grade risks during formal recruitment. One year, we even dropped a girl everyone LOVED, because we had a legacy with grade problems.

We have a few chapters that have more legacies going through rush, then quota will allow us to pledge. So obivously some legs get dropped.

Like i said before, unless you are present during voting.. you never know what happened.

I hope the chapter at least gave the mother and grandmother courtesy calls before they dropped your friend. And I also hope she found her home elsewhere.
