I was in the same boat when I rushed -- Midwest school, fairly competetive (I think. I guess. I have no clue how competetive we are, but we have a large Greek population) -- and a sister who was a senior in a chapter. I was asked at every single house if I knew anyone Greek (thanks to me listing my legacies on my form), and I always replied, "Yes, I do, my sister is a sorority member here. I'm keeping my mind open, though, and I love that your sorority is so (insert compliment here)." I'm going to be honest, I know I was cut from one house because I was a legacy. But I also wasn't cut from a lot, and I ended up where I belonged (not my legacy chapter).
ETA: One of the girls in my pledge class was the younger sister of another chapter's president at the time. And she's happy. So that's good.
good luck and have fun during recruitment!
