Just to be clear, "guaranteed placement" means once they have been invited to preference party/ies. It is not common but unfortunately does happen that girls get cut completely from rush at some point before preference parties. As far as I know there is only one school where a girl is guaranteed admission into a sorority from day 1.
I don't want to start a firestorm, but my guess is Auburn is going to be looking for expansion in the next year or so. I would say there is hope for your daughter, either through rushing as a sophomore or colony expansion. Make sure she gets very involved on campus, keeps her grades high and her reputation impeccable.
As far as GPA, she should post it as the "based on 4.0" number, but from the end of the first semester her high school grades will no longer matter. As soon as she has a college GPA, that is the only one that will matter. And a/some sororities may have an informal rush, but it will likely be next semester if it does happen.
