Sorry, did not intend to imply that being a legacy would cause you to act cocky, and that certainly was not what my husband had in mind when he advised our son.
It's just that some people really have their hearts set on joining a legacy chapter, and think being a legacy makes a bid guaranteed. That simply is not always the case, and the shock and disappointment of not receiving a bid from one's legacy can be fierce. Also, someone wanting and expecting an automatic bid from their legacy may not check out other Greek orgs and end up without a chapter at all.
That is kind of what happened to my friend's son back in August. He wasn't invited to his legacy chapter's last event during formal recruitment. I don't know if he had invites to other houses, but he withdrew from recruitment and is presently a non-Greek. I think he's still having a great college experience, but I saw his Facebook status the night he got cut. He was pretty surprised and bummed at first.
Once again, best wishes in getting a bid.
