The one-year rule is from the day you pledge, not the day you depledge.

If she got her original bid via formal recruitment during her freshman year, then she should have been allowed to go through FR during her sophomore year. Bid day might have happened to fall a day or two before the full calendar year was completed, but for pity's sake, we're talking about a DAY. It's not like she was unhappy with her first sorority and dropped and immediately signed with another sorority.

However, if she got her original bid via COB some time after FR was completed, then she should have had to sit out FR during her sophomore year and not rush until after the full year had elapsed.
