i definitely agree with LeslieAGD. i'm a legacy (although not a chapter legacy). i didn't go through formal rush and didn't have my mom send in a rec for me or anything. i go to a really small school and knew the women in my chapter before they offered me a bid, and a lot of them had no idea i was a legacy until after i had pledged. in some ways i think this is good, because i never had to wonder if they took me only because i was a legacy. i knew that they wanted me for me. i have also seen legacies at our school go to a different house, just because they fit in better there. sometimes i think the pressure on legacies to join the same house can be pretty great and they may end up somewhere that they'd rather not be.
