Pawn, definitely encourage her to stick it out for a few weeks. The "partier" reputation may not be as accurate as she thinks. I assure you (and her) that there are partiers in every house, just as there are bible study groups, 4.0's, etc. Diversity is truly what Greek life promotes.
That said, getting your second choice takes some time to adjust to, and it is easy to focus on the negative. Some people handle it better than others, but in my experience, it is usually always difficult to accept (especially if your daughter is in the south or SEC where peer pressure is a factor) Your daughter may want to confide in her New Member Chair who can possibly put her in touch with a older member or two who also had this happen to them and who are totally happy with the way things turned out.
Good luck and hang in there!
