I would probably leave the sorority and never talk to them again -- that's how angry I would be. Whether it's legal or not (and I wouldn't be too quick to make assumptions about that because the law differs from state to state), it might not always be a good idea.
Understandably. But when you talk about mental health - under which anorexia falls - student health or a doctor or clinic have an obligation to report her, if not 302 (commit) her.

It's actually easier to do this to someone than most people think (even for a non-professional), once you know the system.
