According to what you have said, your legacy status is a moot point anyway, so you don't have to worry about that at all.

Also, the only thing that I would add is that depending on your school, you might not have a good deal of time to make up your mind about an NPC org. Not rushing your freshman year can hurt you in some places; and AI is not often or routinely an option (from my understanding).

If you veer toward an NPHC organization, I would suggest that you remember that post-graduate membership is always an option. Don't rush a decision to pursue membership, because our organizations are a life-time commitment. Make sure that you are certain of your choice, and with an NPHC, you get to enjoy that luxury of time.

ETA: Even then, as my soror noted, just because you have made your choice does not mean that you will be chosen; this is true for both NPC and NPHC sororities.
