I'm not sure how it will go next year with ADPi and whether or not they are willing to take grade risks again.
With few exceptions, I don't think grade risks do well, even if they are special snowflakes in all other areas. If she does decide to go through recruitment, she needs to keep her options extremely open and be prepared for brutal cuts.
Because of ADPi colonizing this past year, they removed upperclass quotas. I believe that most sophomore dropped out before rush even started and went with ADPi.

Rush at Ole Miss is not for the weak. What trumps grades at Ole Miss are connections to members of one of the houses/some legacies. Recs are great but recs from Ole Miss alumni hold much more weight and are definitely worth seeking out. An active alumni is even better.
PNM with great grades, great resume and recs to every sorority but no connections can find themselves with a short invite list very quickly during rush. Rush at Ole Miss happens much earlier than rush week.
The trick is to remember EVERY sorority at Ole Miss is great. Each house is a place to call home for over 300 young ladies. Register early, get recs, letters of support and try to find someone to speak for you in each house. With a low GPA and no connections you won't have much luck.
