Sorority Legacy

<strong>Subject:</strong><br />what is a legacy...<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Some PNM's think they are a legacy when they really aren't, or have expectations of how recruitment will go for them as a legacy. Here's the deal: You are a legacy if your sister, mother, or grandmother is/was a member of the national organization. You are NOT a legacy from an aunt or cousin. Great-grandmothers may or may not count toward your legacy status; national sororities' rules differ on this. If you are a step or adopted, certain nationals will consider you legacy if your family's sorority member requests it, with other sororities only blood relations count. You are not guaranteed a bid as a legacy, but you will get an extra look, just so you don't fall through the cracks, and you should be asked back to the first invited round at your legacy house. If your legacy house releases you, it will be sometime before pref round. Membership selection is up to each chapter. Many houses could fill two or three New Member classes with just legacies. There is just not room to take every legacy, so chapters must base selection on best fit. Don't take it personally if you are released from your legacy house.
