A legacy is a PNM with a mother, grandmother, or sister (or stepmother, stepgrandmother, stepsister) who is or has been a member of a sorority. There are also indirect legacies who are nieces etc. which will get you a bit of a second look but isn't emphasized by most chapters the way a direct legacy is. Your legacy chances are stronger if your sis/mom/grandma was a member at this particular school. Probably the strongest one is if you have a sister currently in a chapter at FSU. Your chances are super high if that is the case. As far as I know most houses are not required to take any single legacy, but they are expected to take a decent percent of legacies who rush. Typically being a legacy will get you an invitation back to the second round, and if you are going to be cut it will be then or after third round before prefs, because once they pref you most will have to offer you a bid.
