NOT that this is a guarantee of ANYTHING, but does the school to which you're transferring have an upperclassman quota? That means that they are allowed to take a certain number of upperclassmen without having them count toward regular quota numbers. Now, as others have said, not only may you not click with the Kappas at your school, they may have upperclassmen in mind already, friends of theirs whom they'd like to pledge as upperclassmen. And many schools do not have upperclassmen quotas, so don't get your hopes up based on this. But go to your school's Panhellenic website to see if they advertise an upperclassmen quota. If they do, this could increase your chances. And this isn't a Kappa thing - it is a Panhellenic decision that differs from school to school whether chapters at that school are allowed to take upperclassmen that don't count towards regular quota.
Best of luck. When you go through rush, you are allowed to mention your family's Kappa experience when asked what you're looking for in a sorority/why you're rushing, but don't harp on it too much to the point where it is a sort of creepy "it's destiny" thing. As long as you've filled out your legacy forms, the Kappa chapter will know that you're a fourth-generation legacy without your having to tell them. And DON'T talk about it much/at all at other houses, lest you ruin your chances with them. You don't want to be cut from houses that might be a good fit just because you're "that girl who is some super Kappa legacy and is set on going Kappa."
