The same kids win out the parts up for grabs all the time. At least that's what I am told by my daughter and a friend who also sought out the drama club at their school. |
Is she a freshman? If so, how does she know that the same people "get all the parts"? Maybe the freshman have to prove themselves/gain experience/etc. before landing roles. I imagine one has to audition for roles, so how many can there have been only 2 months into the year?

I think having the two disappointments (turned down by the sorority and encountering an unwelcoming drama group) has just made her stronger, giving her the opportunity to seek out new ideas for social clubs, sororities, etc. I have no idea what she'll end up doing, but she's a smart girl and seems to be serious with this idea of starting a new sorority.

No offense, but it seems that she is giving up pretty easily. One or two run-ins with a "clique" is not a valiant effort. I also think that maybe you should step back and let her figure out what she wants to do next.
As far as being "serious with this idea of starting a new sorority", I can't help but notice a trend on these boards lately. It seems a lot of people who didn't get "their choice" or any bids want to start their own GLO... it's not an easy task by any means. And fyi, she can always rush again next time around. I am not sure if she didn't get any bid at all, or dropped out sometime during recruitment bc her top choices cut her in earlier rounds, but this might be an opportunity for her to open her mind (if that's the case).
