Being a legacy does not grant you automatic membership. You will be evaluated on the same criteria as everyone else. Whether or not you are given a hard time because you are a legacy depends on my sorors' attitudes within that chapter. If you claim legacy status by your mother, she must be an active soror for a certain number of consecutive years; not just currently active. You can ask her about that.
When the time comes for you to disclose you are a legacy, tell the truth. Some legacies take that title for granted and begin to think they must do nothing to show their worthiness. I think that is why some have been given a hard time. Have confidence in yourself and know that you can stand on your own with or without the status of legacy attached to you.
I'm glad to know that your mother's role as an AKA has had a positive influence on you. I wish you much luck and success!
