Yes. It's a year (or at least, the spirit of a calendar year) since she signed her original bid. That's what matters, not when she depledged.
I too call WTF on having been a pledge for a year and not being initiated. The only way I can see this being somewhat OK (if it's not a local) is if she was part of a colony and they didn't initiate her for grades. Although I would think if she couldn't make grades over that amount of time their colony director from HQ would have kicked her to the curb.
The other possibility is that she was given an open bid in the fall and signed it but declined to start actually pledging. This would explain the being around for a year and not making connections. And then she started actual pledging in the spring. Although my experience is if you put off an open bid for that long and don't have beyond-your-control type reasons (family issues, $$ issues, super heavy semester) you probably don't really want to be there. We had 2 girls who did this, and they both ended up being terminated because they were never around for events or for the sorority, period.
You don't want to be there. Tell the sisters you won't be initiating and go on with your life. If that includes rushing in the fall, be aware that your chances of another group bidding you may be very limited.
