[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she likes the girls she met at the houses that are still on her list, I would encourage her to complete the rush process and see where she ends up. If she doesn’t care about Greek life per se, then the hierarchy shouldn’t matter to her. [/quote]

This.
I would encourage her to stay in and give it a try. Most of the time the experience that is offered at one house is replicated at other houses…and she’ll see that over time! Her ego is understandably bruised but if she can try to focus on enjoying the attention and company of the girls in the houses who are most excited about welcoming her—she could still have an amazing experience and may even find her people!

The ONLY exception to this advice is if the lowest tiered house is objectively not in good shape membership-wise. If it is a chapter that is significantly struggling to attract and retain members, routinely struggles to fill quota, or whose new member classes are significantly smaller than other houses (like half the size or even twenty fewer new members when all other houses have new member classes of 50), then the experience they are able to offer may not be comparable. And the focus is likely to be entirely on year-round membership recruitment. This is fine if your DD is an extrovert and is excited by the prospect of helping a chapter’s growth through marketing and recruiting. And if she has the right mindset and attitude for this sort of chapter, she can make a real and positive impact! But it is also a lot of work and isn’t for everyone. 
Whatever the case, encourage her to go to bid day and give it two weeks after that before making her final decision. This will give her a better idea and then she won’t have regrets.
