She already knows the answer. She either a) doesn't want to believe it, or b) thinks that they'll actually make an exception for her (because she's special and it was "out of her control")

OK. I remember reading that this morning, but didn't go back when I posted my reply. It's so silly to me that a rule that says "NO EXCEPTIONS" would generate this many questions.

If either the sorority that you joined at your first school, or the one that all your family members were in is a local sorority - i.e., it only exists at your one college and does not have chapters at any other college in the world - then you can join a new one.

But if they are both two of the 26 NPC sororities, then NO, you cannot. It sucks but no exceptions can be made.

My thought has always been that they come here thinking we'll be able to tell them a double secret way to get around the rules because we totally feel sorry for them. Or we will tell them it's ok to lie because OMG it was out of their control in the first place!

I sort of wonder how her family feels about it since they are obviously so devoted to ABC. Would they really truly go along with it just because baby girl feels entitled to haz new sorority now?

This.

They know, they just somehow think that they are in some sort of "special situation" that warrants and exception.

And the expansion suggestion is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
