I know how it feels to have a best friend that isn't greek. I was the only one out of my circle of friends from high school that chose to go greek. My friends were cool about my decision but at times it seemed like they resented the fact that I didn't have much time and didn't get to see them as much. It really caused a problem between my friend Kayla and I. During high school we did everything together but when I joined my sorority she acted like she wanted nothing to do with me. So I sat her down and we talked things over. She honestly felt that I didn't want to be friends with her now because I had made so many more friends through my sorority. She definitely felt left out when I would talk about us going out and having a good time. So you know what I did? I introduced her to my sisters. I also made sure to involve her when we were going out or going to eat or anything like that so she wouldn't feel left out. She's now gotten to know all of my sisters that I'm super close to and she's one of the gang basically. I do make it a point though to do things with just the two of us here and there. We go shopping, go to the movies, go to lunch. Just quality time so we can reconnect.
I hope that you and your friend will be able to work things out. Definitely make sure that you let her know that she's still your best friend and that nothing could come between y'all. Best of luck!!!!
