Some house will count it against you, especially if your mom, grandma, sister etc.. was a member of that sorority, specifically at Alabama. If your sister is currently in the house, people will write you off and assume you will probably go there. If your mom or grandma is active with the alum association, corp board or serves as an advisor, they will probably assume you are wanting to go there. But, if you are ABSOLUTELY certain you don't want to be part of your legacy house, there are subtle ways to tell a sorority that you don't want your legacy house. It might come up in conversation that your mom or whatever went to Alabama, and you could say "My mom really hopes I will join her sorority, but I'm having a hard time telling her that I like some other ones better, and I really like this house and glad you invited me back". Whatever you do, don't straight up say, "My mom and sister were XYZs, I don't know why I have to even deal with the other houses... " A girl actually said this to someone in my sorority. That night we told a couple of our friends in that chapter, and she was dropped that night from her legacy house because they knew she was being rude to other chapters. They didn't want to deal with her entitlement, and her older sister had acted similar to the younger members, and she has since graduated. The younger sister got dropped by everyone and her mom and sister were PISSED! Bottom line, nothing is certain, not even for you double & triple legacies!
