It depends on the individual groups, chapters, number of legacies that go through recruitment on a given year or at a given school.
Regardless of legacy status, in most cases, if a woman is invited to preference round, she has made either the first or second bid list of a particular chapter. Then, a PNM ranks her own preferences, and bid matching happens (this is true for all women regardless of legacy status, and a legacy may not necessarily make the first bid list of her legacy chapter). A PNM does not necessarily need to list her legacy chapter on her preference card at all (ensuring that she will NOT be matched to that chapter).
Legacy status just means there may be some sort of extra courtesy extended to the PNM, and this varies from organization to organization and from campus to campus, depending on the competitive nature of the campus or the PNM (I mean, if she has three eyes and curses out a chapter member, she's probably not going to be invited back). Legacy status, if I'm correct, does not have to extend courtesy to preference.
ETA: I do think that anything beyond the general "legacy status" and hypothetical conversation treads on MS info, particularly where preference round is concerned.
