I'll also add that she had at least one friend in the chapter pulling hard for her.
Missing one round might be okay, but 2 rounds? Think about this, each chapter will meet her once before deciding whether to invite her to preference, which means she is on their bid list and they would like to have her as a member.
BlueHenTheta, I'm not sure if this is a case of you wanting your sister to go through more than she does (I've been there with some of my younger friends), or if she just decided recently that she wants to join a sorority. It was poor planning of her to visit her boyfriend during recruitment if she knew she wanted to go Greek before buying her tickets. She wouldn't have anything to lose by going through (though I don't know how much Pitt's registration fee is). She can keep an eye out for COB opportunities following formal recruitment or she might have to wait until spring informal.

Thanks for your reply - I'll let her know this. She is definitely gung-ho about rushing but it it would cost $100 to get the plane ticket changed, and that's how much she paid for it in the first place! Like I said, Pitt's recruitment website is horrendous - it hasn't been updated in over a year! So, I told her the wrong weekend and thus she booked her plane ticket.
