True. I know a lot of them have already done that some this year because of the total being raised right after rush. I have friends in sororities who told me they had girls quietly added to their pledge class after total went up. Some sororities went for girls who had rushed and not found a home but others picked girls they knew who hadn't rushed ever because they thought it would be less awkward than picking girls they had cut at one point. One very "popular" house even took a junior who hadn't rushed.
I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up and am already preparing as if I will have to rush fall 2013 as a sophomore (getting good grades, joining clubs, presenting myself well, etc.) but I assume that at least some of the sororities will look at the list of interested girls. I hope the fact that I was released won't be a turnoff to the sororities.
Thanks to everyone who replied!
