Yes, yes, YES. I can't stress this strongly enough. Introduce her to your sorority sisters (who just happen to be your friends) in the caf or outside of parties. Like I've said on here before, you want to get to the point where she is comfy enough so that SHE asks YOU how to join. This doesn't happen overnight. You can't talk to someone one night in class and the next night ask her to an open bid party - it's just like in high school where the girls who were the friendliest were often the most desperate for friends.

Does the other sorority have, if not a house, a "home base" (like an apartment or something) where sisters live and can gather? Do you have such a thing? If not, look into it.
