At the big-time Greek schools, there is very often an evening where many sororities sit down and have a serious cut session by city. As in, "there were 25 Birmingham girls at the last set of parties and we can't take them all." Unfortunately, girls who only have their sights set on the "power groups" have often cut most of the "non-power groups" by this point.
If any of my daughters rush at big Southern universities, I intend to tell them not to choose all super-sororities to return to after the first rounds of parties. Many girls who do that get a bad shock after second rounds, occasionally third. Luckily, rushees are now able to indicate "decline with interest" so they have a chance of getting invited back by a sorority they may have unwisely cut earlier.
About the legacy issue--most sororities, if they know they absolutely don't plan to bid a certain legacy, should be cutting her after the second round so she can make other plans.
Please let us know how your daughter does!
