I wouldn't bring it up unless you're far along in the process and want to really let them know that it means something to you or let a chapter know that you aren't letting your legacy status color your decision process if you want to join a chapter that is not your legacy chapter. I think for a lot of collegians, having PNMs harp on their legacy status can be off putting. They know that you are a legacy. You want them to want you for you, not your family member.

Exactly. Your legacy status will be noted on your rec. It's ok to mention if it flows naturally into the conversation for those above reasons. Also, if asked why you became interested in joining a sorority, you can talk about your legacy relative.
