Every national sorority has their own ways of doing membership recruitment, issuing invitations, etc. that can't be discussed in the open. However, I would guess that most (if not all) of them have a policy that a "critical mass" of members need to meet the PNM before an invitation to preference can be issued. So it could be that simply not enough women met her, but the women that did meet her (including the president) really did like her and they just need more women to meet her before they can move forward with her.
It is also possible that there is something they aren't completely sure of re: your daughter and they need more time to get to know her.
To have the president of the chapter personally call during recruitment is highly unusual. (It also seems somewhat inappropriate to me unless it is because she has been officially dropped from rush with no invites.) I'm wondering if it was an official presidential call or a call from Suzy sorority member who liked her and also happened to be president. It also seems to me that the recruitment chair would have been the one to call, not the president.
Interesting. Keep us posted and I hope it works out for your daughter! :-)
