Co-sign all of the above. She has nothing to lose by going, and, if nothing else, she'll meet some great people along the way.

I also sincerely doubt the president would be stringing her along. You normally don't call people you don't want another look at and invite them to events.

Tell her to find out about other COB opportunities as well!

I don't believe she is being strung along at this point. Fell through the cracks? I doubt it. For whatever reason, she simply wasn't invited back. Receiving a phone call, DURING preference round did not make her feel better. She's wondering why she wasn't good enough to be invited back, but is acceptable enough to be considered when they realized they were not going to make quota? Furthermore, how did they know she wasn't invited to anyone else for Preference? I thought the sororites simply received a list of who was coming to which party.

Right.

As far as I know, no national sorority requires any active member to a.) contact a PNM after they have been cut, b.) inform them of why they were cut, and/or c.) invite them to future events. Therefore, if the President of a chapter does all of these things, I wouldn’t take it as anything less than a good sign. Granted, it’s not going to guarantee your daughter a bid. But it shows that at least the person is considerate, and has thought of your daughter first for COB opportunities. But remember, since the President basically said, “Not enough sisters feel as if they know you yet,” it might mean that they’ll eventually get to know your daughter and it still won’t work out.

Asking questions about what has happened, and why, isn’t going to get her anywhere. All she can do is go to any events she is invited to, and see if that leads to a bid.

Hope she finds what she’s looking for!
