After that, she can decide.
Great suggestion from adpiucf. The only thing I would add is this: be careful about wording any "great candidate" comment. Alas, it's sometimes easy for a PNM to misinterpret and think/feel that "you" (generic) are saying she will get a bid to her dream sorority or to your sorority. We know we can't be sure of that. Being encouraging and helpful is the goal, I think -- not leaving her thinking anything's a sure thing.

Best wishes to her and to you.
