I've seen similar things happen before. The important thing is to act quickly - the end of the school year is rapidly approaching. Sometimes sisters who leave on a bad and/or stressful note for the summer don't return to the chapter in the fall.
Its difficult to give specific advice without knowing exactly what happened. Of course, I can understand why you wouldn't want to post the details in a public forum. I would suggest contacting your advisors for assistance - most likely, they have seen and/or been through similar situations before and can offer words of wisdom.
I know that some undergraduate members try to keep internal situations from advisors and handle it themselves, but honestly - the advisors are there to help. If there are a lot of sisters disagreeing about something and mediation needs to happen, sometimes its better to have someone "impartial" like an advisor vs. having an undergraduate member who might be part of the stressful situation herself trying to mediate. (I'm a Chapter Advisor and recently the chapter went through some stressful situations - they tried to handle it "on their own," but there's so much that our advisor team could have done to try to help support them.)
Aside from that recommendation, I'd just say to do whatever you can to promote sisterhood - whether through an actual event, or just daily reminders/notes of encouragement, etc.
