Under the circumstances that you may not get to see the friend yourself, it should be fine for mom to make the initial contact-then you can handle it from there on out, with a phone call, email or skype if friend and/or daughters (or people they know) are sorority members.

I agree -- I even think it would be perfectly fine for mom to give them a call
now.
IMO it is probably best for the PNM to ask teachers and people mom may not know personally, and to do the follow-up with all (including people who are mom's contacts), but I think it is fine for moms to ask their friends and contacts (dads too).
This is common practice -- where I am anyway. Gathering the recs needed for recruitment at these schools is quite an undertaking, and parents are often very involved with the process.
