This is exactly what I was going to say. If she plans to go through recruitment as a freshman, then there's no use worrying over her GPA. It is what it is and it can't be changed. And understand that there's a good chance she'll be cut by at least one chapter for that reason. Heck, there are some chapters that may cut PNMs even if they have a 3.8. There's no way to know, and there's nothing you or your daughter can do about it.
Have her get the remaining recs in order, and work on the things that she can control. Help her practice her conversation skills. When she least expects it (at the dinner table, when you're in the car, etc.), ask her a question that a sister might ask during recruitment. Help her build her confidence. Bring her to an event where she'll have to do a lot of hand-shaking and make small talk. And get her outfits in order, and make sure she'll be dressed appropriately for each day of recruitment.
And try to relax a bit, at least prior to her recruitment. If you're stressed, that's going to rub off on her. You can freak out (and drink lots of wine) when she's attending her first recruitment party.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Good luck to you both!
