rush process

Yes, of course, but we cannot tell you which ones because that's initiated members only info. We don't know you and will not meet you until you go thru recruitment, so we can't tell if your legacy status will help you or hinder you. The best yo can do is to go thru recruitment to find out if you will be bid.

honestly matters on the specific sorority and their national legacy policies. for all sororitys it helps in the sense that they will probably pay more attention to you and usually it will guarantee at least second or third sets. some sororitys policies say if a legacy prefs they get an automatic bid, some guarantee a spot in thirds it really depends. but some advice, dont pick a house simply based on where you are a legacy because it is better to go where you fit in, not where your mom/sister/cousin/etc fit in!!! usually girls who are legacies stand out in a pc

if its a recent legacy like your older sister who is still friends with people in the sorority, then yea. but a lot of times people will know you as "her little sister" if you dont fit in and youll feel excluded. just rush where u want

When you register for rush, there is a section where you will put what group(s) you are a legacy to. Because of this, sororities will be more aware of you first round, and being a legacy will probably get you invited back to the second round of parties. It in NO WAY guarantees you a bid to any group so do not be overconfident and brag about being a legacy. Also, do not tell other groups you are a legacy to ABC -- it's a real turnoff and they may write you off and cut you just because. Pretty much every sorority has a policy that if you make it to preference you get a bid. The hard part is getting to preference. Also, some sororities will have lots of legacies coming through rush and cannot possibly keep them all. It's cool to have a legacy house and be interested in it for that reason, but you really should concentrate on going where YOU fit in and feel comfortable. YOU are the one who will be spending the next 4 years with these girls.

idk about legacies for sororitys but for frats what it basically comes down to is how direct is your legacy (brother, dad, grandpa, uncle, third cousin twice removed) and how much money they give to nationals. it sounds slimy but its the sad truth and thats really what national orgs care about. if it's your older brother at the same school then they might still have some friends in the chapter and can pull strings for you but probably can't get you a bid unless they're currently in the chapter and have a lot of pull in rush. if it's your dad/grandpa and he gave a lot of money, then nationals might step in and say something to the president or recruitment director and ask or tell them to give you a bid. otherwise the only impact it'll have is that (if legacy is considered at all, which varies by frat) your name will be on a list of legacies that the president/recruitment director gets, which can help because it's just one more time they'll see your name, but in the end it'll just come down to whether they like you or not. it's never a sure thing.

sometimes it actually hurts like for alpha phi i got cut but my mom was a legacy

If you are a legacy and you have a recommendation or put down that you're a legacy on your registration form, don't talk about it when you go to that house. I didn't know anything about recruitment when I went through it and went to my legacy house and ended up talking to a lot of chapter officers. I went on and on about how I was a legacy there. I was only invited back because their national policy was that they had to invite legacies back for the second round, but I was cut after the next round. I would have cut me too! Do not talk about being a legacy. They will already know.

In a top house, legacy only matters if it teases out you're rich. Otherwise they know you have no juice and they won't fear not inviting you back. Like, who is your middle class family going to complain to? Nobody will care.
