Also, don't take it personally if your legacy house doesn't invite you back. Just because your mom/sister was a ABC at one school, does not mean that you will fit in well with the ABC chapter at a different school. One girl who I rushed with last year was extremely upset when she was cut from her legacy house, but she really didn't fit with the girls in that house.
But, don't be afraid to tell a chapter that you got interested in Greek Life because of a friend/cousin/sister in that chapter at another school. My cousin is a DG at UCSD, and when I was rushing and asked why I chose to rush, I talked about her. It turns out that a girl from UCSD had just transfered to UCLA (who was a DG) and ended up knowing my cousin well. It was a fun convo, and we got to talk about the different schools, San Diego vs. LA, etc. Nice icebreaker.
