AEPhi's legacy policy states that if a legacy is invited to pref, she must appear on the chapter's first bid list. So if my hypothetical daughter preffed AEPhi and matched somewhere else, it's because she ranked "somewhere else" higher than AEPhi on her pref card. And I would deal with it.
It's very hard for a parent to let go of his/her adult child and recognize that the child is now an adult and will make his/her own decisions. Hell, my mother-in-law is still trying to control my husband's life, and he's 35. A daughter is not a carbon copy of her mother, and just because XYZ was right for Mom twenty or thirty years ago doesn't mean XYZ will be right for her daughter today.
