The stereotypical "barbie type" screaming sorority girl is not her thing and that would not impress her. I know all the houses sing/chant - that will be a turn off for her.

I should add that the majority of the girls who get don't get bids drop from the process if they get cut from a house they want. I have even heard that some girls sign up for recruitment just so they can move in early, when they don't really have much of an intention of pledging. Still, I don't think it's an easy process there.

I'm not a Big 10 expert, so I will let those who are chime in. One thing I agree with you about is that there could be many cuts if Nebraska is at all remotely competitive as you say (without being crazy competitive).

Is she prepared with recs?

She has recs to the majority of the houses there. They say recs are not at all important there except for 2 of the houses (Chi O & DG) - and those 2 she has recs for along with 10+ others. She is a legacy to 1 house. I'm not comfortable saying which one, but I think it'd be a great fit for her. Of course, I'm telling her to keep an open mind and go with the houses she feels most comfortable with. They have a "Greek Preview" day there, and she was very surprised that her legacy house was one of her favorites.
