It's OKAY if your daughter is shallow and immature. We all were at the age of 17 or 18. I think that you are doing a good job of trying to guide her past that.
It sounds like she took the bid, but a few things that may help her stick with it:
1. Make sure the roomie is not promising her anything. I know of women who depledged a chapter because their roomie promised they would get her in next semester or next year or something. This NEVER works out.
2. You will find countless recruitment threads on here where a woman ended up very very happy in a chapter that was not initially a top choice. My own retro thread is a story like that. Yes, there were times in college, even as a sophomore or junior, when it sucked to not get exchanges with the top fraternities or to have to work twice as hard during rush. But you know what? Every chapter has drama. EVERY CHAPTER. To this day, some of my best friends are women from my chapter. If it helps her to read something like that, point her to GC.
