Will she be able to participate in Spring Recruitment or will she have to wait until Fall 2013? What exactly is Spring Recruitment? Will the sororities only look at her FSU GPA? Thanks for the info.

As long as a Pref card is not signed, then she can participate in spring recruitment. Signing the Pref card is what binds you for a year to the group you receive a bid to. So she can do spring or wait until next fall. And then, they won't care what her high school grades are as she will have FSU grades.
Some chapters add new members in the Spring (or other informal Fall recruitment) if they are under what is called "chaper total" on that campus. There are many reasons why a chapter may not be at total and have room for more gilrs. Many campuses have seen increases in chapter size with the interest in greek life at a high right now, and when total is increased (sometimes it's based on chapter average), then that leaves room for sororities to do what they call open bidding.
Not all groups will have room for new members in the Spring, but if she has an interest and has done well in school then she can join in the Spring. Or, she can focus on grades and other activities this year (which is a very good idea) and go through again in the fall 2013.
