By whom? Who told you that there was a letter written that went to some unidentified Overlord of all things Greek?

Again, who confirmed what?

I was told this by a DZ sister and mutual friend of mine who observed the conversation and it was later confirmed by members of the panhellenic council. Both Presidents looked into overriding it, but were apparently told it was "above their heads" and it was just "politics" and they are very very sorry.
The Panhellenic President has no say in membership decisions (unless of course, she is also a DZ, which I'm not clear on from your earlier post). It is indeed possible that one person can prevent you from getting a bid to her chapter. What is so confusing to the rest of us is why that would have affected your chances at other chapters.

If you don't know who they are, neither do we. Panhellenic officers? Someone in the Greek Life office?

My guess is that whatever was in that letter was really bad. OP hasn't said what's in the letter, and I can't help but think she hasn't shared that information because it's true and she's terribly embarrassed by it. Once the contents of the letter were shared between other sororities, they agreed that the OP isn't up to snuff. I agree with whoever here said that the letter was probably accompanied by video, or police record, or something that supports the claims made against the OP.

I'm oblivious to the inner workings of Student Life, so this may be a stupid question. But let's say the person who received the letter was the Dean of Students, and the offense the OP committed was something that violated the school's code of conduct. Could the Dean prohibit her from being eligible to participate in recruitment? (Which doesn't seem to be the case at all, since she did participate in recruitment, but it's one of the only ways I can imagine a "higher up" official having input into membership selection across several chapters.)
