I would like to assume that for a shy girl, going to a very large school and not getting into a social unit (in this case a sorority) would make for a tough start to a college career. Shyness is a hard trait to deal with, it does require effort to overcome.

I know that shyness is hard to overcome, I'm not a naturally extroverted person, and I know it takes effort. I should have been more specific - the mom said something along the lines of, if you really want something badly enough, you give it 110% - leading me to believe she felt her daughter didn't try hard enough to get into a sorority because it wasn't so important to her. That's what I object to, the mentality towards her daughter embodied in that statement.
