Ok, I'll be the one to ask it...

By all of her friends "doing fine", do you mean they stuck it out and ended up in houses? Or did they make it into the "top tier" houses? Or did they make really great connections with houses that they truly loved for all of the right reasons?

Why did your daughter decide not to go to prefs? Was it because she felt she didn't have a connection with the girls of those chapters, or were the reasons more superficial?

I'm not saying that your daughter dropped out for all of the wrong reasons, or that all of her friends "lucked out", but it's not as though we haven't heard those types of stories before.

And as has been said, you don't know how your daughter communicated and connected with the sisters of the chapters. Maybe she was awkward/shy, and asked weird questions. Or maybe she did everything right, but somehow she just fell short. If this is really what she wants, you can encourage her to go through recrutiment again. But again, don't show her how emotional it is making you. It will only make things worse for her.
