She has decided that she IS going to be in XYZ. She's been to all the pre-rush events that occur at a deferred recruitment school, and she just knows she'll get XYZ. As a Greek, albeit at a different school, I know this isn't the case. What can I do to let her know that her bid isn't assured? I really don't want to see her upset- I'd rather she realize this ahead of time rather than when she gets her invites.

Go to the General Advice thread in the Sorority Recruitment forum and print it out for her. If she still doesn't believe you after reading that you telling her that she should keep an open mind (and that recruitment is MUTUAL SELECTION), encourage her to come here and tell us that she's going to be an XYZ. I'm sure the fine folks here will convince her that going in with that "I'm going to be an XYZ" mindset is a set up for disappointment.
