Here's two important perspectives on this issue:


I'm sorry she feels this way. Chapters sometimes forget that the new member period is a time for girls to decide whether or not to commit to the organization. They shouldn't just assume that because a girl accepts a bid to their sorority that their job is done and they don't need to promote the sorority anymore. You brought them in, but you need to engage them in activities and get them involved so that they'll initiate and stick around.

On the flipside of this, new members need to understand that like all relationships, sorority relationships aren't instant. They take time to develop. You aren't going to be instant bff's with your Big. Also ask her, is she making an effort herself to get to know girls? Yes, actives should try to hang out with the new girls and help them feel included, but friendship is a 2-way street. If all a girl does is sit back and wait for actives to ask her to hang out and takes no initiative,then of course she's going to feel left out.

I she's not already doing so, encourage her to get involved and take initiative to make friends within the sorority and see if things change.

Here's a recent thread with a kind of similar topic (girl who feels let down her sorority after recruitment):
