When a colony is formed, your headquarters works really hard to pick women who are strong, motivated, big-picture kind of thinkers. The colony and new chapter process is a lot of hard work! So they did a great job in selecting you. You get it and are prepared to put in the work for something bigger than yourself. Your first round of new members who are not colony members are not necessarily cut from that same cloth. Unfortunately you are going to lose some because all that elbow grease isn't what they signed up for. Do your best to hold onto her (because it would be unfortunate for several reasons, not least of which is the effort required to replace her), but understand, new chapter membership isn't for everyone. But do also remind her that she won't ever get to join another sorority, so maybe it's worth holding out for awhile to see if it gets better.
