I guess it comes down to how willing you are to sit her down and tell her.
When I was a freshman in college I would never have told a roommate how they made me mad or how I felt about people eating my food and stealing my stuff, now after having roommates, I dont care as much.
Sure you have to live with her, but thats it, you have to live together, she cant do whatever she wants just because.
Ask her if you can talk to her. Now be very nice the first time. Tell her you are very upset that she borrowed your clothes without asking and that is something you do not want to happen again. Tell her that if she wants to borrow something to ask, BUT that ADPi clothes are OFF LIMITS. Let her know being in a sorority is very special and that is why the clothing is something that ONLY members wear. Ask her if you could get those shirts back.
Also tell her that you paid good money for your cups and you do not like to see them disappear so to please not take your cups places anymore. You are fine if she drinks out of them while in the apartment, but not to leave with them because you want to keep them.
Do all of this nicely. If she goes nuts, well she is one of those people, who gets bent out of shape when someone confronts her. You cant just let it slide, you have to have boundaries when you live with someone you dont know. By being nice the first time you are letting her know it bothers you but you arent being mean.
Now if she listens to you but doesnt care and still does still you dont like, then you need to be firm and tell her again and if it comes down to it, buy a box with a lock on it and lock your ADPi stuff up in it. It sounds so wierd and something you shouldnt have to do, but believe me, Ive lived with enough people to know sometimes you have to. I had a box once when I lived with a girl who would steal when you were gone.
