My biological sister ended up being my Kappa sister although at a different chapter. It might sound trite but it did bring us even closer.

Well that's fine, because you went to a campus where your chapter had that luxury. CMU is not a competitive rush and the sorority chapters are all on fairly equal footing.
And it's easy to support nepotism when you went to a school where there weren't many legacies. If you had rushed at a comnpetitive school, you likely wouldn't have gotten a bid to KKG, because you weren't a legacy. If you got cut from all the groups because you weren't a legacy, you'd be singing a different song.
You never cut anyone who was a legacy? I don't know if that's a good thing, in that you were just lucky to not have any nightmare legacies going through. A legacy just may not be a good fit for a chapter. They could be a risk management nightmare, for example. Giving every one of them a bid doesn't sound very "elite" to me.
Your chapter also wouldn't have had many legacies going through rush anyway. Pitt didn't either. It's easy to say, and actually carry through with, giving legacies additional consideration when you may only have a couple.
But when there's a chapter with more legacies going through than spots, giving even MORE consideration to legacies isn't really plausible. The legacy has to have more going for her than just her birthright
