This is delving into membership selection, which as you said you were a member of a sorority and should know, is private and NOTHING leaves the selection process room. It would make no sense for any nationals to set up a system to make a cut off or to publish because A) recruitment around the nation is so widely variant that it would be beyond foolish and B) membership selection is based on the chapter, not nationals, and is always private.

Sorry your daughter's recruitment didn't work out, but there is no way you could (or probably should) know why they cut her. Perhaps they just didn't like your daughter and it had nothing to do with her legacy status. Maybe if she has friends in the chapter now that some of the seniors who have graduated had something against her. Perhaps she didn't make a great impression during recruitment because she was tired during that round. There are too many variables to just base it off of legacy status.

All I said was that she may have stood a better chance if she did not disclose her legacy status. Of course, there is no way to know, but she did otherwise have a perfect rush and went to a house that was equal or superior in the "rankings" (if one cares about those).
