I knew the flounce post was coming! Friend, I have read some very good advice here. If you make her feel like everything she does without your direct involvement is an imposition, unless she is suffering from some sort of codependency issues, you guys aren't going to last. Your goal is to be as fine together as you are apart. This whole "let's talk about our relationship and how your recruitment is going to impose on it" business is just bullshit. It's not an imposition, it's her doing something she committed to do and you have no idea --none--about just how seriously recruitment is to Greek organizations. Fail there, we fail all the men and women who came before us and could have come after us.

So instead of having to have a 'state of the relationship' talk and her having to get your permission for it to be okay, you don't get a say in whether she does this, you can ask her how it's going, text reasonably and try to grab lunch if possible here or there.

You did good coming here. You're getting solid advice. But don't expect complete strangers to hold your hand and tell you that you are right when what you are self-disclosing to us is probably something we could find in the DSM-V.

Also, as a matter of discretion, the internet is forever and among Greeks, this is still a pretty popular site. There's a very good chance someone is going to read your fact pattern and figure out who your girlfriend is. You might want to go back and edit some things and request the QFP person (politely by private message) to please edit some things. The internet is forever.

I completely understand being worried, scared, sad, upset, and needing to vent. But that is not what a forum is for. That's what a paper journal is for. If it was a matter of coming here to ask "is being out of touch for 8 days during recruitment normal?" then everyone would have said yes, for a big school that's par for the course, and after she's done everything should be fine. But you're acting kind of like recruitment is something that was created just to keep the two of you apart.

The fact that you go to "I don't want to be lied to" is upsetting - has she lied to you before? If not, why do you think she would start now? You need to trust her or she will go running the other way. You might think its appreciation and caring, but honestly, it sounds more like checking up.
