at my college, rushees indicate on their rush registration form if they are a legacy to any of the sororities on campus. my chapter knows where each rushee is a legacy, whether it's us or not. we don't know if a rushee has recommendations for other houses.
a piece of rush advice--if you think you might not go with your legacy, be sure to be extra-enthusiastic during other houses' rush parties. let them know (not in so many words) that they have a real chance of stealing you away. don't let them assume you'll follow your legacy. you could be cut if they get the feeling you'll just go with the legacy, since there's no point in keeping you on if you'll just cut the house later on during rush, taking someone else's spot who might really have wanted the house. make them feel like they have a great chance with you, and they'll take the risk.
