What kind of leverage does mom think she has to get DD into one of her preferred chapters? It's not like she is an advisor or National Officer or big time donor to the foundation and is threatening to withdraw her support. What does she think she can do?
Informal recruitment at the top chapters? There are very few schools where top chapters do informal recruitment!
Chapters choose their own members their own way. "Top" chapters especially have to make lots of cuts in the first round and they have to find a reason to cut PNMs or talk themselves into feeling good about a reason to cut a PNM. PNMs get cut from top chapters all the time because there were more women that the chapter wanted, they're not as well known, or simply because they failed to impress. Now, if a PNM has an obnoxious mom bullying the chapter who has to cut lots of PNMs per RFM, she is absolutely going to get cut because the chapter will resent feeling like they have to take her, regardless of her actual merit.
Simply explain that her overinvolvement will be a detriment and ask her how she thinks she can get her daughter into a particular chapter.
