Will this get any better? It makes me sad when she feels so lonely  |
Yes, it will get better. Sometimes it takes a few weeks, sometimes a couple of semesters, but it does get better.
I lived in the smaller Honors program dorm with only one other girl from my sorority in that dorm, while the rest of my pledge class was mostly in the freshman high-rise dorms way on the other side of campus. Not only did this mean I couldn't walk down the hall/stairs/across the street to see all of my sisters, but it meant we ate at different dining halls, walked to classes from different directions, etc. But I started walking to chapter meetings with the one other girl in my PC and that's how we started becoming friends. Now, we are as close as can be. Tell each other everything, "you're gonna be my bridesmaid" close. Have your daughter go to events/meetings, etc with her pledge class sisters. If she has a car, she should offer to drive every now and then. If she doesn't, ask for rides (not all the time, but "hey, could I get a ride to the philanthropy event with you guys" every now and then). Just getting somewhere with people is a good way to get to know them, because if you're in a car or on a long walk with someone, talking is just bound to happen.
Best wishes to her!
Also, remind her that her friends don't have to exclusively come from her sorority. She will be much happier if she doesn't only rely on one group of people as a source of company.
