Just take a deep breath. Even the "oldest" unhoused chapter has only been around for a few years. Some girls are never going to be cool with being in the new chapter, regardless of the prospect of future housing simply because they can't draw on the known to anticipate the next 3 1/2 years of their lives. The history has not yet been written about how the unhoused chapters will function and/or their level of competitiveness.
The girls who bite down and accept what they were given have to be brave. I personally believe that all/most of the unhoused chapters will be around and thriving into the far distant future. But I can't guarantee that, and for the girl picturing her future as a sorority woman, being second class or in a struggling chapter is NOT part of the program. The best I can say is if your daughter does end up in an unhoused chapter, she should 1-make the best of it (because it can still be fantastic) and 2-work to make the chapter into what she wants it to be. Being a chapter of leaders, fun party goers, successful philanthropists, whatever it is she uses as her yardstick for success can happen based on her efforts. It seems the unhoused chapters are going to be LARGE no matter what, so at least struggling to make numbers every year isn't their issue; it's conquering an impression of lower quality members. THAT can be changed by even just a few members making a huge splash. Best of luck to your daughter an all of the other rushees who are having a rough night.
