What should a new member do - not put up sorority decorations all year so she doesn't hurt her roommate's feelings? Please. At some point everyone has to grow up and move on with their own lives.
Yes, it stinks that there are women released from recruitment - and yes, that is terribly painful and confusing for them. But treating everyone who doesn't get what they want in life like special, fragile, snowflakes isn't the answer.

Plus, door decs play another role if you have a big pledge class, and don't meet everyone right away...you see a door dec in your dorm and you are like "wow! you're an XYZ too? I'm so-and-so."
Also: if the CPH has properly set total (hahaha) after FR, and there are groups that can take a few more girls, having a roommate in one of those chapters can only work in your favor. Many times, COB happens under the table, so to speak, where a couple of awesome women just quietly get added to a pledge class.
ETA: My last statement is NOT specific to UT. I have no idea if chapters are taking women there.
