It's not unusual for PNMs to think they're guaranteed a bid to a sorority. They often really misunderstand the "mutual" part of the term mutual selection.

Hopefully the Rho Chis at her school are informed enough to educate the PNMs on the fact that no one is guaranteed a bid and that they should be open-minded.

I don't really think there's much you can really do. If she asks you for recruitment advice, I would just make sure to tell her to be open minded. I'd also point out that the selection process is mutual, and that it's not just "picking a sorority."

I would assume that she will learn more about the process from the Rho Chis and Greek Life staff as it gets closer and she'll come to understand how it works (that you don't always get what you want).

If it gets to be right before recruitment and she is still insisting that she's going to get a bid from XYZ, then I'd just sit back and see what happens.
