I'm sure it will happen. But I feel any "fall out" isn't going to be restricted to just Delta Zeta but perhaps sororities (and fraternities) in general.
In any case, you did the right thing and pointed out that this was an isolated incident and that her daughter would be fine. (We hope.) As such, the daughter didn't de-pledge. This is what I anticipate to be the likely scenario for a while. Initial concern, followed by reassurance at the chapter (local) level.
