It seems logistically unlikely – in the time frame of two weeks or less – that one could apply to another school, submit all paperwork necessary for admission (official transcripts, etc), receive acceptance, make housing arrangements (dorm assignments, roommates, etc), attend advising and register for classes, register for recruitment, have alums submit recs necessary for recruitment to the chapters at the new school, move out of current location, and move into new location.

As I said earlier, it was a logistical effort. That's for sure. First,
I agree situations like this are the exceptions, not the rule. She was accepted to both schools. She made housing arrangements at the first choice school and signed up for recruitment. IF she had not been happy with her recruitment results, she would have broken the housing contract at the first school, enrolled at the second school, found a sublease for an apartment at second school and signed up for recruitment at the second school which does not get underway until after the first week of classes. I should, also, include that money is no object in regard to what the children in this family want. I am not sure how it would have worked out, but luckily she did not have to find out.
