Not necessarily. Let's say that for the time she was researching she was in long dyed-blonde hair and colored contacts, and then when she was done she cut her hair to a short style, dyed it dark brown, and wore glasses. You might not recognize her. Especially if she also wore heavier makeup when on campus.
ETA: if she was in one of those 100+ member chapters and mostly talked to seniors, it's quite possible that those sisters currently on campus would only partially remember her, and that those who assisted her may have transferred or graduated or deactivated by now. Does she specifically say that she talked to freshmen? Or what year(s) she was on campus?
Actually, since I haven't read the book, I'm more wondering if she got bids to all four of these orgs, or did she just get all of her info from one sister from each org?
