Taking it out of the equation is one thing.. implying that we obviously know this already is another.

And no one here can tell you why she didn't receive a bid. We know nothing of her situation. And even if we sat right next to her throughout recruitment, we still couldn't say why the chapters dropped her.

If she truly wants to be Greek, she'll need to try again. She could work on her conversation skills and get more involved on campus. She can analyze what MIGHT have been the reasons she was dropped and work on those things, but she'll never know for sure. Perhaps she just slipped through the cracks, like a few PNMs do.

I know it's hard right now, but all she can do is pick herself up, dust herself off, and put her best foot forward the next time around.

Fair enough, but . . .

It's not implying it, it's stating it. "It goes without saying" means "obviously," "naturally" or "of course"— it doesn't need to be said because everyone already knows it. Which is why seeing it tied to "she's beautiful" or "has a high GPA" in a question like his raises flags or me.

Maybe she had bad breath or a booger in her nose. Maybe she flirted with a sister's boyfriend. We can't tell you because we weren't there. The ones that were there can't tell you either. Whatever it was, there were girls they liked better.

I'm sorry it happened. I know how disappointing it can be getting dropped by your legacy sorority.

I agree with everything you said except this.

In my opinion, I doubt that a triple legacy would slip through the cracks. My theory (based on basically no evidence or no idea whatsoever meaning it has very little value) is that they gave her the benefit and courtesy invites that legacies get, but in the end it just wasn't a fit. This would explain the invites all the way up to, but not including pref.

You know who you should ask? Her mom. She wasn't in MS either but she should have access to her sorority's legacy rules.

Some theories based on no evidence what so ever:
1) She flat out told the chapter she didn't want to be there and was rushing to make her mom happy. Also, she's not really sad she got dropped.

2) She was rude as hell to the sisters.

3) She is an undercover slut and slept with half of fraternity row.

4) She's dull, dull, dull and the chapter is anything but dull.

5) She's super awesome and the chapter has low self confidence and thought there was no way they'd get her so save the Pref invite for a girl they have a chance at getting.

I'm betting #1 or #3, strongly leaning toward #1.

This is not true for every sorority.

I think she worded it to account for all sororities. Bid list doesn't necessarily mean "first bid list".

again, not true for every sorority.
