I don't think this is dirty rushing at all. She got to know a sister and the sister really likes her, and apparently the other sisters do too. That's pretty much the best way to get a bid if you're a sophomore. Many women don't do well going straight from high school to sorority rush without knowing anyone (I know I wouldn't have) and that year of college makes a big difference for some people.
As far as the sister calling her "pledge daughter to be" - well, it's her reputation that's going on the line. It will shake out however it shakes out. If this girl gets a bid and turns out to be awful, you can bet no one will EVER listen to any recommendation your sister makes ever again.
I think it's dicey as to whether or not it's bid promising. If she is saying "you are going to be my pledge daughter" that's walking a little too close to the line for my comfort.

Agreed. In this day, when you cannot even say. "I hope I see you tomorrow" to a rushee as she leaves your party, then telling everyone that this is your future little sis, is over the top.
Oh no, I wasn't planning on running to the front door of the Greek Life office to report her or anything. Its just a very awkward situation because the girl has called her her "baby" at parties/functions/etc. all year and people are associating her with our chapter which wouldn't be bad if this girl didn't also have a dicey reputation. I guess it'll just play out on its own.
