I think that it's up to your mom.
SInce Ms. MysticCat is a Kappa, I know that every issue of "The Key" lately has had a little form for Kappas to cut out, fill out and put with important papers. The form basically says something to the effect that "upon my death, I want my badge to (a) go to my daughter, granddaughter or other legacy, (b) go to __ chapter as an award or officer's badge, or (c) be returned to HQ." There also may be an "other- you fill in the blank" option. To me this form tacitly acknowledges that the member owns the badge and can say what happens to it, while encouraging the member to keep it in the family, so to speak.
