Whether or not her recruitment guides (advisors) mis-informed her, it's very likely, if not almost guaranteed that they explained exactly what she was signing before she signed it. I volunteer for preference round to explain MRABA and submit preference rankings - the volunteers are trained on what to say and how to answer questions, as well as asking questions if a PNM seems to eager to just sign and not look at the MRABA. Because of this I think your daughter might have a hard time arguing that she didn't understand that COB wasn't an option after she signed. Having also attended a smaller campus with deferred recruitment, I would fully prepare your daughter for the fallout that might come from her quitting because she didn't get her top house (because it will likely be perceived that way no matter how it's spun). I'm not saying it's impossible, but many comments above are correct, deferred recruitment is an entirely different beast, knowing sorority women ahead of time is both a blessing and a curse.

I'm not as well-versed as others are about this, and you can probably help shed more light on it; but, it seems to me that there is an NPC policy that states that an explanation of the MRABA must be given to the PNMs before signing and there is literally a script that is read to the PNMs. The NPC Manual of Information seems to support my understanding of this on page 106, the section beginning on page 127, and, finally, the script on page 172. Also, the bottom of page 128 the manual specifies how, and under what conditions, a woman could appeal her MRABA.

The script was what I was referring to thank you for finding it!
