Obviously, I know you're not going to delve into the dark world of Membership Selection, but if one of the houses that cut me after round one then offered me a bid, I'd be...perplexed.
I mean, I'm not there and I'm several years removed from the process (and as you've stated I wouldn't be able to say why even if I knew for sure), but my guess would be that the cuts came because she is a transfer student without ties to the houses and she's also pretty shy at first. It can be tough when you have any of those three situations, but to have all three will probably result in some pretty steep cuts. I'd guess she was probably a little intimidated/quiet that first day, even at the houses where she felt most comfortable.

They also invited her back for COB after her friend pledged there. I am certain that having a friend in the house when going through COB put her more at ease and helped the girls to get to know her. So it's not like they cut her round one and then gave her a snap bid or something... she essentially went through a second recruitment.

OK - that makes more sense. Pretty sure we did a good bit of that back in the day.
