Legacy

I have never heard of members who were legacies having more voting power and would say that you are confused on that rumor. It is true that legacy PNM's have a slight advantage during recruitment, and those with direct ties to a chapter here even more so because of connections. But once you're initiated, you're a sister like everyone else, legacy or not. Any influence a member has in her chapter is from seniority, office held, and plain old earned respect. Plus you are assuming that one legacy would automatically choose another legacy for membership no matter what and that is just not how it works. Legacies do NOT always get picked; not by a long shot. There are enough legacies going through to fill entire classes and then some, so it's not a gimme at all; best fit is most important. Let me just say that when I hear "not fair" about legacies, I want to scream. It is FAIR that legacies get special consideration; it is a very special thing in sororities to share letters with your mom or sister or grandma, no matter what school, and that bond is valued. And for women who have been members of a chapter here, then hell yeah their girls get extra attention. At the same time, it is also FAIR that legacy doesn't guarantee a bid because they may not fit with the chapter and there's just not room for them all. Non-legacies say legacies having an advantage isn't fair and legacies and their families say that getting cut isn't fair. Enough.
