Bamagirlie -
Legacies are given extra consideration during sorority recruitment but they are in no means a 'guarantee' that you will be offered the opportunity to join a specific chapter. By extra consideration, I mean that your being a legacy will add something to the other qualifications you have. However, most groups will not overlook poor grades or reputation just to pledge a legacy. I have seen a legacies dropped by the second round of invitational parties. The extra consideration offered these legacies was the invitation to the first round of parties - unfortunately, their grades and/or reputation did not meet the standards of the chapter.
In other words - your grades, activities and how your present yourself will (sometimes) count more than your being a legacy. In addition, it could be that when you meet the sisters in the chapter to which you are a legacy, you do not feel any connection to them and you do not accept additional event invitations.
