As long as you've filled out your legacy forms, the Kappa chapter will know that you're a fourth-generation legacy without your having to tell them. And DON'T talk about it much/at all at other houses, lest you ruin your chances with them. You don't want to be cut from houses that might be a good fit just because you're "that girl who is some super Kappa legacy and is set on going Kappa."

AAMOF +1 to everything Lightning Bug wrote. Just didn't feel like QFPing the entire post.

OP, RELAX. And open up your mind! One of my very best friends/Theta sisters was a multi-generational Kappa legacy, and she found her home with Theta. Her choice, FWIW. The sky didn't fall; the Kappas in her family are still speaking to her. And the reverse is true: I know multi-generational Theta legacies who are happy members of other GLOs.

Sometimes I think this whole legacy business is more troublesome than helpful.

PS: there are founders' descendants going through recruitment at the present day. Can't even imagine the pressure.
