Wait I'm so confused. I'm a current member. But I don't understand why this is bad advice. The PNM's cousin CAN write her a nice rec, right? Sorry, I am genuinely curious.

Because non-members have no business speaking for sororities and their policies.

Your cousin may write a recommendation for you. If recruitment isnt that competitive or there are not a lot of legacies coming through, they may recruit you harder in an attempt to "keep it in the family," but you will not be extended legacy courtesies since you do not fit into the category of what is defined as a legacy for AXO.

In other words, as stated above, you need to change your attitude going in to recruitment as you are not guaranteed membership in any group.
