She also was concerned because her first payment was due today.
I kind of gave her "tough love".
I told her "you need to decide if you want to give it a try or not. It takes more than a week to get to know people. Plus you are held to your bid for a calendar year, which means you can't go through any type of recruitment until next fall. You need to think about those things you told me about sk at the beginning of recruitment. Remember those things you liked about them. But in the end you have to follow your heart".
I truly don't know what is going to happen. She hasn't responded to me. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings because that was never my intention. I've always been honest with her about recruitment and expectations. I'm not going to start sugar coating things for her now.

Oh I hope she stays with it! I almost wish I knew who she was so I could go talk to her in person...doubly so if she ended up being one of my residents (I'm an RA)! I hope the tough love speech got through to her as you are totally right and sugar coating won't change the fact that she is bound to them for a year. Is she a freshman or an upperclassman? If she's a freshman than she has a chance of re-rushing and being more successful, but if she isn't than this will likely be her last chance at Greek Life. I wish her the best in making this tough decision.
