First of all, I'm terrible sorry about your daughter. Rejection is never easy, as we all know. The good news is that she is young, and this has been a learning experience.
You said something that caused me to wonder...
You said she had a 4.0+ gpa. The plus you added leads me to believe you may be quoting a "weighted" gpa. Most sororities only look at "unweighted" gpa, so the highest gpa possible would be a 4.0. They don't really care how many advanced classes were taken, or that those advanced classes were harder than your average class. All they care about was the grade she made.
If you re-calculate her unweighted gpa, would she have less than a 4.0? Perhaps this is where her recruitment got sideways???
It's a thought anyway.
There are many, many clubs and activities on campus that sorority girls get involved in that have nothing to do with greek life. (My daughter's sorority requires they get involved in at least two additional activities other than her sorority) If you daughter wants to meet or make friends with these sorority actives through other clubs, it may help her chances in COB, informal spring rush, or rushing again next year.
Good luck to your daughter, and mom - hang in there, there is way more to college life that sororities!
