As someone who only COBed, and learned the hard way the best way to do it, I wouldn't agree with this point entirely. Yes, for the most part, sorority informal recruitment is more "formal" than fraternity informal recruitment, but the way to recruit best is actually very similar. Especially in a situation such as this.
Because the OP knows nothing of the PNM's interest (or lack thereof), befriending her is key. The sorority can wait. Introducing her to members outside of an official sorority event puts less pressure on the PNM and makes the possible transition to membership less stressful. Friendship first, sorority later is a great strategy, and one that, in my opinion, isn't used often enough.
