It is unknown when Delilah was infected, but it's safe to assume that she was assimilated sometime immediately leaving the school, thus explaining why the police are unable to reach her at her home. This also explains her use of glasses and more dowdy clothing when returning to school, as the aliens seem to allow their hosts to unleash their desires free of normal societal constraints; in this case, Delilah secretly wants to fit into the crowd rather than lead because of her looks. Though her wearing glasses is more likely because contacts will dry out the eyes of people who wear them. As these creatures dehydrate their human hosts, she switched to glasses so her eyes wouldn't dry out. it is also possible that she was assimilated during the scene in the lab during all of the commotion with Professor Furlong, as Marybeth was seen taking her 'to safety' behind one of the benches.
