She may have to decide that her health is more important than the 8th party of the day, even though she very possibly could be cut from that chapter if doesn't attend, even with the knowledge and approval of panhel.
But I see this as an example of why she should give them a head's up that she hasn't been feeling well. That way she can give them the short version if she decides she's run out of steam and wants to go back to bed. And they may also want documentation from the doctor to ensure no shenanigans.

I agree that the health risk is primarily to the OP's daughter and that they should mainly focus on that. Personally, I'd also want the peace of mind that the leadership knew and was happy to have her participate, both in terms of being able to care for her in an emergency, but also that other people were generally aware and could exercise appropriate caution, however slight it might be.
I certainly wouldn't want anyone identified by name, but it might be great if the recruitment counselors warned all the PNMS that there are always cases of mono on campus, so you should get in the habit of having your own water bottle, etc.
Similarly, it might be a great time to remind the chapters that if you are washing and reusing dishes and utensils, that you need to be using water X degrees hot or X kind of detergent. You'd like to think they are doing it anyway, and I suspect since most houses have commercial grade kitchens that they are.
Even if the OP's daughter isn't infectious, someone else going through recruitment probably is.
