We all have a tendency to think that either 1-all NPC sororities function exactly the same or 2-they all work 100% differently. And many times we think those things simultaneously. And many of us have been caught saying something we shouldn't have or sharing something we think is common knowledge or SOP, when it very clearly is not whether from chapter to chapter of a sorority or across all sororities. And I, for one, have also been guilty of assuming NPHC member intake or fraternity rush has 1 iota of similarity to NPC. I've learned a lot from being here, and you will too

When in doubt, wait and see what someone else says first.

But I think the variety of responses here could be boiled down to this: while it is POSSIBLE that the OP could get a bid the second go 'round, I wouldn't plan on it. Without some solid extenuating circumstances, many chapters (although certainly not all) will see a de-pledge or a rushee they cut last year as not worth a second look. If she is set on doing this again, she needs to work very hard at making herself a more desirable candidate next time. That's grades, extra-curriculars, leadership roles, friendships, spotless reputation, active social life, etc.

Don't get mad at me because you broke your daughter's confidence and said something stupid on GC. When would an upperclassman be discussing their policy towards rushees? I don't buy it, but if you'd rather save face than be truthful like an adult and admit when you're wrong, that's your prerogative. No skin off my back.
I didn't break my daughter's or anyone else's confidence, for that matter. None of what I said was told to me in confidence. I was just being truthful, like an adult. I'm not wrong and don't think what I wrote on GC was stupid. I was only trying to help the OP. I'm new to the rules of the game around here, spoken or unspoken, and I'm not mad at you. I just stated that I didn't like your meanness.

I don't care. You obviously don't get the point. It has nothing to do with rules. You took information that was obviously not meant for you (as you are not a member of your daughter's organization) and blabbed it on GC. If you can't accept that this type of information is Membership Selection information and not for dissemination across the internet, then you have a problem with judgement. I doesn't bother me if you think I'm mean. You obviously don't think much. Consider the consequences before your type. And by the way, deactivating your PMs so I can't respond back to you after YOU started the conversation with me is so adult. Kudos.

You deactivated yours to begin with. This is just rude and uncalled for Oh well, I'm arguing with an idiot, and you've had more experience, so you win.
