Legacies

Poster Message:
Legacies are, in theory, a special thing. If we can make the room for somebody to share a special bond of initiation with their mother, sister, or grandmother, we can't argue it's a bad thing. At a big greek school NOT in the south, like USC or Indiana, this is also a very special thing because enough come through that a strong chapter can pledge most of the good legacies and still have many spots for their top girls. At ours it is a different story. There are more legacies coming through recruitment than quota for some chapters. And there are girls that WE, the active sisters, would like to share that special bond with. Our best friends, our cousins, the girls we've met at camp or through cheer. The moments you'd like to share would come at initiation. Our moments would be everyday life with our friends, both the day to day and the deeply special bonds of ritual. Not to mention the exceptional girls that come through that would add so much to the chapter but don't have the connections. We are tired of alum pushing, sometimes viciously, girls through to pref that nobody in the chapter really likes or is impressed by, only so that somebody from the class of 1985 that we don’t even know can have that moment, at the expense of the girls we’ve grown up with that we are forced to release for Lucy Legacy. We WANT legacies. But we also want to pledge who we want. The best balance would be 25% legacies, and 75% girls that we really want. CONTINUED...
