A few helpful points for your daughter (or anyone pursuing colony membership): (1) Don't belabor what did not go well in recruitment. The colonizing group will have studied the campus and will be familiar with the quirks of the campus. Instead, be positive. This advice is similar to job hunting -- don't dwell on the negatives of past jobs. DPhiE surely knows the challenges of IU recruitment, which brings us to (2). Emphasize what you can bring to the colony (not just what a colony can do for you). Each interviewee will have her own strengths (extrovert personality, academics, leadership both overt and collaborative, etc.). A colony will need a mix of attributes. (3) Each NPC group has a lot of experience, particularly with the past several years' expansion boom, in selecting and nurturing colonies. Each has had enough colonies that it has a strategy for long-term success (not just immediate recruitment of numbers). Trust the colonizing team to know what it is doing.
