for instance, if a girl gets a college facebook account, posts a cute photo of herself, is careful what groups she joins , what she puts in her photo albums and what she says, could it work to her advantage?

If the facebook account is positive, honest and informative it can, at least, not have a negagive impact on recruitment. Can it help? Hard to say - an online pic or a resume will only get a PNM so far. It's how she presents herself and how she relates to the chapter that matters.
If a girl presents herself with a zillion hours of community service and all sorts of activities, but her blog states she 'signed up for X event, then blew it off to party', that is one PNM that is going to be heavily scrutinized.
I'm all for personal publishing and blogs, but there comes a point when a line is crossed and unfortunately, most people don't know that point.
