Thanks so much for all the helpful and thoughtful advice. After talking with many from this board and others that have much more insight on this than I do, I understand that just getting a bid from a large SEC school was an accomplishment in itself. For whatever reason, the sorority where my daughter ended up had loved her from the beginning and let her know that every time she visited. She doesn't understand their attraction to her, especially since this is not a very athletically involved bunch, but she is already talking about forming an intramural team if she can find some girls that are willing. If not she will try to find other ways to participate in activities that she loves. She is trying very hard to shake off her disappointment and find the positive side in the way things have turned out.
My daughter has met most of her pledge class and so far has found one young lady that shares her views on the whole "party" issue that is willing to admit it to the group. She also played the same sport in high school. My daughter will continue to seek out other like minded girls and by no means will just bail without giving it a honest effort. She is very lucky in that she has a wonderful group of friends that have rallied around her and are encouraging her to stick it out and "let the dust settle" so she can see how things really are. On a positive note, she really loves the chapter colors and is pleased that they match her dorm room colors, lol. Thanks so much to everyone for all your encouragement and advice. I understand that if she can figure out a way around the drinking and frat party issues (she has a steady boyfriend), that the rewards of sorority life far outway the bad side.
