To the OP

OP,

I'm not blaming the young women for choosing poorly certainly, but it's possible that the scenario described earlier in the thread did play out a little bit for her.

If she got most of the twelve that she wanted at the end of round one and she is like most PNMs, it may be the case that these were the absolutely most selective chapters who are probably least likely to take many sophomores. Had she instead gone back to her bottom five for second round and these were less selective chapters (for lack of a better way of expressing it), it's possible that she would have ended up with a bid.

Carnation, who I haven't seen posting but who is kind of an SEC rush expert, has noticed that at UGA it's much better to be cut hard after first round because then there's a good chance you can stick with some of your remaining chapters all the way through. If instead you are in a position to "cut" chapters after first, but then are cut hard yourself after second, you have nowhere to go.

This may have been a little bit what happened to your goddaughter.

There may be some COB opportunities, and if she's a real glutton for recruitment punishment, when UGA released the bid lists last year, there were even a couple of juniors on it last year.
