Your argument about out of state status is false. We have run studies (actual numbers) and the number of oos girls getting bids EXCEEDS in state girls. That is for 2 big SEC schools where the common thinking matched yours. And the oos status didn't mean yeah they weren't from Alabama, but they WERE all from Texas. Or whichever state. It was remarkably diverse geographically.

Yes, recruitment is crazy competitive on these campuses and some are trying to expand, but that has to be done gently or both the new and existing chapters will suffer. In my (utterly without scientific basis) opinion, even the most overcrowded, overly competitive school shouldn't expand more than once every 3 years. And that's a long time if you're a freshman at a school where sophomores have an even tougher go of it than freshmen.

And for the umpteenth time, your daughter failed the system, not the reverse. She had a choice and she declined it. The problem isn't the system; it's your daughter. You're looking for the magical answer that makes your daughter have a better outcome. Ask the (how many on this campus, 100? 200?) girls who legitimately did get cut from every single chapter if they think your daughter got screwed by the system.
