The OP makes it sound as though her daughter is incapable of asking these questions herself because she is in high school. I find it hard to believe that a 17-18 year old girl doesn't know how to use the phone and/or internet.
When she asks you these questions, say to her, "Try calling the school's Greek Life office. They should give you all of that information," or ask her, "Have you searched for any information online?" Finding out all the answers for her isn't "being a good mother." It's ok to help where she needs it. Give her the phone number to the Greek Life office... Direct her to Greekchat where she can ask questions of other sorority members... But don't do the work for her. If you keep that up, she'll never learn to do these things on her own.

I remember going through and though my mother did help me with recs (and wardrobe haha) she made me find out answers to questions like these myself and that was the best way she could have handled it...I was used to asking questions and going to the trouble to find resources on my own before I even got there.
