Yes, but if all the women maximized their options through preference, there would be enough spots. While we occasionally hear of someone being cut from all groups, we more frequently hear about women who didn't get invites to A, B, or C and therefore, drop out of recruitment of their own volition.

Do not beat yourself up wondering why your daughter was cut from her favorites or isn't receiving bids from many sororities! There is no way to know why things turn out the way they do. Yes, the truth is that many ofthe girls who will get bids are not valedictorian, homecoming, honor society go getters. But they were the ones who were able to make the most of their 20 minutes of facetime with each house. There are some girls who are naturally good at this and others who struggle with it. For a lot of girls, this is not the optimum atmosphere to showcase their personality. The sorority girls have seen many of these girls on paper via recomendations and rush applications. When they get a chance to see them in person it is up to the girl to make the most of that brief time. Some can do it and some can't. It doesn't mean that one girl is better than the other it just means that she was more comfortable in the rush situation than the other girl. As parents we would do anything to ensure our childs happiness and well being and your feelings are totally understandable. Please keep us posted on what your daughter's or sister's choices are, I truly wish them every happiness!
