Keep trying.
Don't bash her with invites, but keep trying. Sometimes it's enough to know someone at least cares - even if she doesn't call.
I still haven't been able to establish consistent contact with her. I sent her a message about getting together to catch up and she didn't respond. I am so worried about her.I don't really know what to do to get to her.

In your last post about her, you made it sound like all she wanted was money. Now you're worried about promiscuity.
I will tell you for 100% certainty that the absence of her father plays a huge role in her promiscuity. All girls' first loves are their fathers. If they don't have that father or good father figure, they go out looking for that unconditional love anywhere they think they might find it. My daughter lacked a father in her life and has five children by four different men.
You say she has shut her father out. If he really cares, he needs to keep trying. He needs to try as long and hard to get into her life as he was out of her life. I bet he hasn't put the same effort into being in it as he put into being out of it.
There is nothing you can do to change that other than to try to get her father involved in her life in a really big way. But at this point, it may be too late.
If she is an adult and in college, all you can do is offer moral support and hope that she doesn't get pregnant or worse before she is able to get herself under control.
I didn't read your past post on this girl. But keep reaching out. It may take a while if she has been hurt before. It sounds like you are willing to reach out and be concerned rather than judgmental and that is a good start.
Also a good site for teens and younger folks to get reliable information on sex and birth control is Bedsider.com If you can't get a teen to stop having sex sometimes it helps to show them how to take care of themselves (i.e. not get pregnant or catch a sexually transmitted disease).
If you are very concerned, I would contact the college social workers or advisors. You can start out anonymous with your concern and see how comfortable you are going further. Some people may disagree with me but you are sounding pretty desperate to help her (how do you know her by the way? These type of people who need money, IF they are claiming they need it for school and you are willing to help with that, then get a name or counselor who you could direct the money to. Do not give her the actual money until she proves she is very reliable. I have seen my husband fork our hard earned money over to family members who said they wanted to take classes and they used it for well, you can guess, at least alcohol and partying and 'stuff' not things related to school. Sadly, some people are self destructive long into life until they have been hurt, over and over and over. I will definitely be praying for this girl.
The only thing you can do right now is make sure she stays safe and knows how to protect herself. Maybe thru that she will reach out to you on a woman to woman basis.
What about her parents?
Does her school Counselor(s) know about her situation?
