Well, it depends on whether or not ABC historically achieves quota and campus total during their Formal Recruitment period. If they do, and her heart is set on ABC and only ABC, she'd want to go through Formal (and hopefully keep an open mind, because she may be perfectly happy with ABC, DE, or GHI as well.) I know it can be confusing--but if ABC on her campus is always a quota/total chapter after formal recruitment, odds are they won't be participating in Spring recruitment events.
If ABC historically does not achieve quota and/or campus total, then she may be able to receive a bid during Spring--if ABC didn't fill to quota/total during Continuous Open Recruitment (COR) events during the fall. If this is the case, then it probably wouldn't matter when she rushes because as long as ABC likes her and she has the grades, etc to qualify to receive a bid--she very well may receive a bid.
Clear as mud?
