each sorority's legacy policy
by: helpful
I just thought I would list what the legacy policy is for each sorority so incoming freshmen will be positive as to whether they are or aren't a legacy for the house they think they are, and what the benefits are.
Remember that all members must be in good standing of their sorority for you to be considered a legacy.

Yes, your rec writer for your grandma's house will include your legacy info on your form.
I also don't think it would hurt if your mom/dad wrote an incredibly short letter to the house just saying "My deceased mother pledged XYZ sorority at the University of X in 19XX. I have such fond memories of mom's monthly lunches with her beloved pledge sisters! I just wanted to let you know that my daughter, Suzie PNM, is going through rush this fall as a legacy to XYZ. Suzie is looking forward to meeting the Alabama XYZ's!" It's not campaigning for you, but just making it known that you have a connection to the house and your deceased grandma obviously cannot inform them.

There are NO houses that consider aunts or cousins to be legacy relationships. So it won't be "useful" in that you won't get any preferential treatment that sororities extend real legacies, such as Round 2 invitations or automatically being placed on the first bid list should you make it to pref.
If you have active cousins who go here, that can help, but if they graduated or are at other schools, it won't.

Adding on to PM, they have to get permission from nationals to drop a legacy.
