The OP will, more than likely, experience exactly what she is describing. At large competitive (Greek) schools, the sisters of active members tend to be cut earlier. Everyone assumes she will follow her sister/mother so they let her go early.
If the PNM has made it clear throughout the summer or it is stated in her recs, that she is open minded and very interested in looking at other groups, she may have a better chance at returning to later rounds.See AOPi Angel's advice:

You may be surprised to learn that getting another chapter's double legacy may be a trophy for another chapter.

Take the advice from earlier posters - be nice, do not worry about what you cannot control. Let it be known that you are interested in getting to know other houses and that you do not want everyone to assume you will be pledging with your sister. BUT do not discuss the other houses - that would be rude. Let all of your comments be about how excited you are to go through recruitment and how fun it will be to meet new people, etc. Accentuate the positive.
