Obviously, your daughter can try to avoid sorority talk for the time being. If she runs into the room all excited that Alpha Beta Popular and Xi Psi Hotties serenaded her pledge class every night, it's going to make her roommate feel like she is missing out on things because she pledged a less popular group.
I wouldn't tell her to avoid displaying her letters, like if everyone has a door dec, she should get to have hers too, but maybe she and the roommate can try to connect on more neutral topics for the time being. If they could check out a non-sorority activity together, that would be good, too. Sometimes it's easy to feel like Greek life is everything, but it's not, even on a campus where it seems like it is. Going to the freshman bowling night at the union or something can be a good reminder that tons of students don't know an alpha from a lambda.
I think timeframe matters here, too. Are we talking like, bid day was Friday, or are we talking like it's been six weeks and roomie is still beside herself?
