This mom sounds uninformed. I'm thinking she's actually insecure - no one who knows anything about any GLOs (and most especially SEC GLOs) would be that cocky.
What would I do? Work around the mom to maximize the daughter's chances in a very polite manner. I'd invite the daughter to Panhellenic pre-recruitment meetings (if there are any in the area, of course), ask the daughter for her resume so you can submit a recommendation letter, share my GLO's magazine with the daughter, tell her about all the websites that the GLOs maintain, and have a conversation with the daughter in which you kindly and truthfully spell out the facts of life re: SEC recruitment.
Otherwise, we're going to be getting a panic post from daughter or mother a week before recruitment starts. Or, worse, a nastygram post afterwards when recruitment is a FAIL because daughter was not prepared. I have been known to say "I told you so" but there is no satisfaction in it when I say those words.
