I thought it meant that some people were selling their parents to get money for dues, formals, etc.

She's never learned how -- these parents certainly weren't going to teach her. Better the hell you know than the hell you don't know.
I watched a similar thing happen in college -- the best you can do is be supportive and try to nudge things along without pressuring her. As you're getting to know her better, share your own story with her, without adding the "I did it, so can you" moral -- let her do with it what she will.
That said, perhaps the best way you can sell über-Mama on your group is by playing on her zeal to make sure her daughter is being looked after. Show her you will be real sisters and that you all look out for each other.
On the other hand, that may trigger Mama's biggest fear -- that her daughter won't need her anymore.
