The big sisters should also meet weekly with the new member coordinator to talk about the new members' happiness.
But if a woman consistently seems like she isn't acclimating or fitting in, I don't see anything wrong with a heartfelt talk between her and the NMC, or her and the chapter president, her big sister, or all three. Everyone just wants what is best for the new member.

These are great points and I will definitely bring them back to the advisor who oversees membership & NM education...I just remember my own pledge class that 1/3 dropped out before initiation and another 1/3 after initiation (probably why my own chapter closed in the long run)...I want to make sure (can't guarantee anything though) that the active girls are as involved as possible in interacting with the NMs so they have a good initiation and the best house possible..
Thanks for the suggestions!
