You should definitely not feel awkward calling the chapter advisor. As a former advisor (of a different sorority) I can tell you:
1) I would have loved to get an enthusiastic mom calling me about coming to initiation!
2) its a good heads-up for the advisor that something has fallen through the cracks. For example, maybe there are other legacy moms/sisters/etc who haven't been invited and there is still time to get info out to them about coming.

You should absolutely try to make it out -- to me watching a legacy's surprise, confusion and joy at seeing her mom/sister/etc. there for her initiation is one of my favorite moments!
