dropped out of rush, still aloud to go to house functions?

Sorority women are allowed to have friends who are not members of their own chapters, and to do normal "friend" activities with them.

That is probably the message that was convoluted during it's journey.

Sorority member --> Your cousin's best friend --> Your cousin --> You --> GreekChat members

Perhaps your cousin, while visiting her best friend, will fall in love with the members of her best friends sorority. Perhaps the sorority members will see a new side of your cousin and change their minds about extending a bid. Perhaps they will be under total (read: have room to add new members, since there is a ceiling at all campuses called total). Perhaps they will extend a bid, she will accept, and everything will be fine.

Sorority recruitment is a great way to plop hundreds of new members into sorority chapters in less than a week. However, anyone involved in the process would agree that it's not a way to understand any woman at the level we would prefer (character, integrity, etc). With more time, your cousin could end up a member of the sorority and *voi la* be naturally invited to all of the events.
