Transferring to the university of Arizona?
If my brother is an alumni at the university of arizona, and is well known at that school, and if i am at a out of state community college trying to transfer there, does it help me out that he is an alumni. in what way if it does?
One brother is an alumnus. Alumni is the plural. Brothers do not usually create legacies and state schools do not usually recognize legacies.
However, your brother’s experience and knowledge can certainly make the process easier for you.
You did not state the details of his being well-known, but if he was an outstanding student and the admissions office is informed of this information, they might consider it when they read your admission essay.
Universities want students who will succeed, and if your brother is known for his success, you might have an informal legacy in your favor. However, do not write more than a few sentences about your brother. What you do write should describe how your brother inspired you, not why you are "owed" something on account of your brother, of course.
Good luck.
