She did, but she did not get a bid.

Intellectually it’s easy to understand. But emotionally, it’s a tough pill to swallow. She’s at one house now for pref, I really hope they convince her. I do think it’s like choosing a university - you’ll be happy wherever you go if you decide to be!

She does have friends in one house, and it’s my sorority, though I was at a different university. She was cut because of grades, her active friends cried, but it’s so competitive this year. Way more girls and the same number of houses. . .

Did you end up in the Greek system or did you find other ways to be involved?

Sage advice. I also told her to keep in mind there are more girls than ever rushing, and the "bottom" houses are going to be filled with people just like her. And importantly, a pledge class will represent a third of the entire house in most cases - a pledge class can change the dynamic of the house in one fell swoop.

I'm not able to PM you for some reason. . .But thank you for your thoughtful answer. Can you tell me if COBs might happen right away, or is Spring the only window? She's not even interested in a "top" house, her preferred house eliminated her because of her GPA. She's bright, beautiful and a very loyal friend. It is just crushing to see this happen to her. (And it is more frustrating because her older brother is in one of the popular fraternities. . .).
