I know now that this is very true. The one sorority that she had left led her to believe that she would not get a bid from them as they usually try and take girls of a certain religious preference. Unfortunately she was not told that by dropping out she would hurt her chances of a snap bid. I wish the rush advisors had done a better job at that. There were many girls who dropped out.

hollywin - thank you for clarifying, I couldn't figure out from your previous post if your D didn't like the sorority or vice versa or what the deal was.

If that was the case, they shouldn't have kept inviting her back. Sounds like her hostess wasn't communicating well that day, I can't imagine any chapter saying that bald-faced.

Again, I hope your daughter can take advantage of COB options, if not now, then in the Spring.

I can understand what hollywin's talking about, though, because a chapter did something similar with me when I rushed. It's not an outright "we won't pledge you if you're not _______," it's just a very clear "we are all _______ and that is one of the things I love about this chapter." The chapter that this happened with for me then cut me right before prefs, and I didn't understand why they had bothered to keep me around when it was obvious that I didn't fit what they wanted in a new member.
