But then we have

8. If through the primary recruitment process a potential member accepts a bid and then has her pledge broken by an NPC fraternity or breaks her pledge, then she is ineligible to be pledged to another NPC fraternity on the same campus until the beginning of the next year’s primary membership recruitment period.


So which is it, Recruitment/NPC experts? To me, the scenario described by the OP fits #8, not #4. She accepted a bid, pledged, and then broke her pledge.

I disagree. #8 specifies the primary recruitment process. She did not accept through the primary recruitment process. I think this is here to clarify the situation I described above: if you decline your bid on bid day which happens to be August 30, you can go through rush again the following year, even if bid day is on August 29.

One last thing: Why ask the Greek Life office? It's the NPC MRABA that applies here. Greek Life has been known to make mistakes. I'd check with the NPC.

Honestly, if the greek life office gets it wrong and the old chapter doesn't complain, that's what would matter, in a practical sense.
