karmelgirl- I understand what you are saying. I hope you will encourage your daughter to consider COB, if they have it on her campus. It sounds like she may be regretting her rash decision to drop out of recruitment without attending pref, and believe me, she would not be the first to have that regret.
I have read your posts and I do not see anywhere a comment that is casting blame or claiming mistreatment. You are just expressing the disappointment that you feel about a situation gone wrong.
As a member of a Greek organization, you have the ability to see both sides of the situation and either way, it is painful. To know that group(s) rejected your daughter -you've been through membership selection and know the ins and outs of that - plus, to know your daughter did not attend the last parties - and effectively cut her limited choices to nil - are both hard to accept.
If you will be patient and skim the recruitment stories, you may find some insight from women who experienced what your daughter did, then came back and pledged later.
Either way, now is the time to help your daughter learn and accept a tough life lesson. As a mother of a two college daughters, it certainly seems to be a period of life where they learn some biggies!
