Mom is delusional and thinks her daughter will be a shoo-in because she's a legacy. Mom will probably go ape-shit when daughter doesn't get invites, all because mom was a selfish, under-informed twit. I suspect even if someone tells her the protocol with recs and SEC schools, she won't believe it.

Daughter should get some recs on the down low ASAP.

I think if a mother has good experiences to share about her time in the sorority, is still an involved alumna member and this has been known by the daughter all her life, it will naturally influence the daughter. A mother who is also open and knows that the daughter may find the same thing with another group will likely make the daughter comfortable as well.

The last thing you want would be a mother so hellbent and uptight about the daughter joining her group that she makes the daughter terrified to "fail" at recruitment, thus guaranteeing she gets no bids because she can't be relaxed and herself during any recruitment parties. Or it just naturally makes the daughter not want to go greek at all just to defy mom.
