I don't know what she did offline, so I can't say.
If she claimed to be a member through a school like "Eastern Idaho State" (a PWI), where that org may have very few members in that part of the US, then yeah, she can perp pretty easily.
Or, if she said she came through an underground chapter, then people may not be willing to challenge her since no one (in the NPHC) wants to bring up an ugly situation (underground chapters --> don't disturb the hornets nest).
If she claimed to be a member through a HBCU, she would have been found out in 2 seconds.
ETA: It also depends on when she said she was initiated. If she was initiated pre-MIP (before 1990 / 1991), then she could perp. Or, if she said she was initiated at a chapter that was closed right after she joined, then she can perp.
Putting it all together (via Sen's article) she could perp if: 1) she said she was initiated at Eastern Idaho State in 1985 and the chapter was closed after she joined; or 2) she joined an underground chapter in 1985 at Eastern Idaho State.
