She can go through rush again next fall as long as she doesn't initiate into her current sorority. Judging from what I've read here, sophomores have received bids in the past, so we know that it's not impossible. However, several other factors might play a role should she decide to drop and go through rush again next year -- the fact that she dropped might be a be big one. Plus, you never know what'll happen between now and Fall 2008.

Encourage her to stick it out. She's going to have to wait a year to go through rush again anyway. If she still feels the same way just before Initiation, drop.

There are several Ole Miss advisors/current sorority members who frequent here. They'd know best.

I have to agree with OTW. Encourage her to stick it out and get involved with the sorority. Its only been a few weeks and like anything else friendships aren't instant, so give it some time. If she feels the same way by the time Initiation rolls around, then she could drop and re-rush, so long as she doesn't initiate. If she does drop and decides to re-rush, she WILL have a more difficult time getting in a sorority than she did this year, so keep that in mind. Best of luck to you and your daughter.

Ole Miss Phi Mu and OTW said it perfectly....it takes time to get settled into a sorority.
