I think this a little incorrect. At some schools, especially the more "cut throat" schools, other sororities do cut you because they assume that you'll join your legacy chapter.
I'm not sure if you HAVE to list your legacy status. Even if you end up listing your legacy status (assuming your mom initiated into an NPC sorority) you just let the other chapters that your still keeping an open mind.
Recommendations (or Recs) have been discussed at nauseum on GC, just do a little search for them. Usually there are alumnae chapters of some (or all) of all the school's sororities in your area, so you just call up and tell them your interested in getting an alumnae recommendation, and they'll direct you further.
Recruitment is scary, at times, but really fun at the same time. There are girls who don't get bids at all, and girls who do. %'s of bids do very school by school, and I'm not aware of a universal percentage that I could give you to let you know how many PNMs actually get bids.
Just go into recruitment with an open mind, and don't stress over it too much.
