Right, which is why I would be BEYOND ANGRY if someone reported my problem to student health or a doctor.

I mean, sure it's possible that reporting her to student health or a doctor could result in her getting treatment, thanking her sisters and living happily ever after. It could also result in her quitting the sorority and losing what might be the only support network she has, or worse. I just don't think it's safe for a bunch of people on a message board to be telling the original poster that she must report this girl's problems to someone -- I don't think it's that simple, and want to present the other side.
