double legacy to a house with a bad rep
by: x2I am a double legacy to a house with a bad rep, does this hurt my chances with the other houses? Neither of the universities where I am a legacy are Alabama. Can you even hide it though, or does it look bad? My mom and grandma don't care which house I choose. Even when I was little if I said that wanted to be in their house (because of the legacy) they would both respond with a resounding NO and that I needed to pick the house that fit me best. If it happened to be their house then great, if not, it didn't matter.

Lots of other threads on this topic. Basically, your legacy status at a house does not scare off other houses unless you wear it on your sleeve and act like you are not open minded about all houses. It really will not come up (should not) unless you bring it up. If you don't want to go to the house where you are a legacy, just don't say anything about it to them and if there is no other identification of your status in the registration, then they won't know (I don't think). Also, that legacy status will not assure you a spot in the legacy house either, so even if you like them, they may not want you. So just go through rush with an open mind and what happens, happens.

All I can say is that it says something not good about any pnm who is embarrassed about her (double) legacy house because they have a "bad rep" when she means they are a "weak house." I suspect that you think you are too good for this house and my wish for you is to find out that you may not be good enough for the houses you aspire to and then find that you're not even good enough for your "weak" legacy house. Girls like you give all pnms the reputation as immature social climbers. Please don't end up in my house

Honestly the fact that I'm a legacy wouldn't have bothered me so much if people on this site didn't write such horrible things about other houses. I know the site is anonymous, but really? You can't blame me for wondering considering how nasty people are on here. Are people going to treat me the same way in person if I am a member of a house that people on here speak negatively of? Those that write things like that really affect PNMs and eventually do themselves a disservice. Please don't think that I feel as though too good for any house, they all have super great girls that are beautiful, smart and talented- I just don't want to be cut for my legacy. As I was looking, there were a few other houses that I thought might suit me well, but I can't be sure yet (obviously). I don't want to be dropped because of something that won't affect my decision making process (I have no pressure). If I fell in love with my legacy house that would be great- I am just affraid of limiting my options.

I agree, it appears that this pnm might not have the right attitude.....MIGHT not.
But I really don't like it when sisters on here say that "they hope this girl doesn't end up in my house". I understand no one wants a girl who thinks they are better than any given house because all houses have great qualities/girls, but I feel like making a statement like that, because you think a girl's character/personality is poor, can be so skewed based off of this site.
You have no idea who this girl is in real life and she might make a great sister. I feel like when you make statements like that you are "stooping down" to what you believe to be their level of thinking, that you are better than a group or person when you have no idea who they are in reality.

Sounds like the women that make her a legacy don't want her to try for that house. What is the reason for the bad rep?
