I guess I misjudged what this forum was about. I have tried to be honest and straight forward and all that has occurred is an attack over why I am asking a question. It has no relevance and is in direct contradiction to what sisterhood should mean in the first place.
BTW...she holds a few key leadership positions in her High School. She is just nervous about getting this all right. And with the reception that has been given on this thread I feel she has a right to worry if this is the state of the greek system today.

Sigh @ the bolded. There is no attack here.
Her list of credentials are all the more reason for her to seek out and take advantage of opportunities to open up and communicate with people. She sounds great on paper, but if she clams up when in the company of strangers, she really needs to round out her skill set with an ability to communicate with others outside her comfort range.
Parents helping their kids is fine. Parents doing the work for them is not. Persisting in holding her hand will only keep her in the protective bubble she lives in.
Good luck to her. I hope that she can take some initiative and interact here to discuss her possible future recruitment.
