Yes, she rushed at a very competitive school and should be happy with any bid, but she really loved one and went to their preference party and got her hopes up for that one. She is still talking to the girls in that sorority, texting, etc. She just wasn't high enough on their bid list apparently. Anyway, she wants to love her new sorority, but doesn't. Have any of you been in a similar situation and what made you grow to love your sorority? What do you love about being Greek? Thanks for your advice?

Mom... how many
days has she been a new member of this chapter?? It takes TIME! She has no option to go join another group for at least a year, so she might as well focus on her sorority. I hope you will tell her to appreciate what she has. Her sorority wanted her!! The other chapter... not so much.
I hope it won't come to this, but she might as well get to know her new sisters and participate for the next 6 weeks. If she wants to, she can depledge before initiation and try to rush again next year. Understand that it would be a huge uphill climb to be offered another bid next year.
The choice is likely the sorority she is in now or no sorority at all. I can't tell you how many women come to love their 2nd or 3rd choice and realize that it was the perfect place for them after all.
