Need Advice: Girls Can’t Get Dorm Roommate to Shower

My college roommate smells so bad that I can barely breathe. She says she showers but it's clear she doesn't. It's been months since she washed her sheets and I only know of one time she has showered. I'm so grossed out and don't know what to do.

This is my first year at BSU and I was really excited to move into my dorm and meet my new roommates. There are two other girls who live with me and they're pretty cool. After a very short amount of time, I started to realize the room smelled really bad. Within a week, the smell was assaulting us as we walked into the room. I Febreezed that room all the way down to the carpet, opened the windows and turned on a fan to air it out. When I returned to our dorm after classes, it smelled just fine.

One day later, the smell was back. What one roommate and I realized is that it was our third roommate! She was the one causing the smell.

After further review and careful observation, I'm learning that the smelly roommate hasn't ever done her laundry. Never done her laundry. Also, she will go to the gym and break a pretty hefty sweat - then won't shower. The no laundry applies to her sheets as well.

I didn't want to offend stinky roommate to tell her so we talked to the RA who gave us all a roommate agreement that the three of us signed which included a rule of keeping up with our own hygiene. Once we sat down and talked about it, stinky roommate realized it was her. She was not happy.

It worked. She showered.

That was the only time.

It's now weeks later and the smell is back. It's 1am and I should be sleeping but I can't. Right now I can smell my roommate's feet. After tossing and turning, I actually asked her if she can wash her feet. She didn't respond.

How do I get this woman to shower? I feel like it's slowly taking away days of my life.
