Even if her high school academics were challenging, that drop off still happens when you get overwhelmed by college academics. I know many IB diploma recipients/people who took a hard AP load and still had beautiful high school GPAs (unweighted), but their college grades have been Bs and Cs. It's not for one particular reason; some picked majors they hate because they're lucrative, some partied too much, some got mono around a major exam time, some just hated their school, some didn't realize that their #1 ranked program would be ranked as such because it's incredibly difficult, some are just lazy, some are living the Cs Get Degrees mindset.
Either way, I'd hope that the sororites on campus would treat it sort of like transfer admissions- if you have a semester under your belt, nobody cares what you did in high school except to explain unusual circumstances. Because clearly high school performance does not reflect college performance at all, and college performance is what they care about. Unless this girl has an acceptable explanation for why her grades were low? Then it would be more like "please take me, I'm not really a grades risk, see, look at my beautiful grades and my 2400 SATs, it's just that this year my whole family died/I got the plague/I was training for the Olympics and here is my gold medal (*hat tip to...28StGreek, I think?*)". Then I could see a group not cutting her immediately. Unless she brought it up in a super awkward way, like "Hi I'm Kelly Questionable Grades, nice to meet you! Ohbytheway my grades suck because, reasons!"
