Having some exposure to Greek life is usually a positive for someone going through recruitment rather than a negative.

Legacy relationships can cause a pmn to feel more inclined toward a particular group but does not mandate joining that group.

The legacy status of a parent/family member does not guarantee you a bid/invitation to join a chapter either FYI.

True. But if she's asking about legacy status in the strict sense, she would only be a legacy in her mother's sorority. What being a legacy means or what benefits (if any) legacy status carries would depend completely on that sorority's policies.

in addition, different chapters often view legacies differently. at one chapter, it might mean that the members give the legacy every consideration where as at another chapter, it doesn't make a bit of difference.

It really depends on the chapter and the circumstances. All other things being equal, it can be an advantage. My chapter did give extra consideration to legacies, but wasn't above cutting a couple whom we knew were not compatible with us. And there are a few that I wish we had cut, but that's another thread ...
