I'm not a Gamma Phi but I was a legacy to that house. The answer is that YES they respect legacies. Each legacy is more carefully considered than the non-legacies. They are invited back to an extra party and I remember going to legacy weekends at the house when I was younger. The legacies parents and grandparents are the ones donating to the foundation (like my mom does.) They ended up releasing me and I have absolutely no hard feelings because I love my house. My mom told me to go where I was the most at home and I am completely in love with the girls I call sisters. Not every legacy house is right for every legacy. You need to be your own person and not just follow blindly in another's footsteps.

Actually my mom contributes to their foundation because she values the sisterhood she shares with the other members and believes in the importance of the philanthropy she worked for when she was in college. She doesn't give them money to buy her daughters a bid. That's kind of disgusting when you think about what you said. Would you even want a house that sold bid guarantees to their alumnae? Yikes!

No one cares how or why you give them money. Point is, they don't respect legacies. That is the question that was asked. The answer is still no.

I look at respecting legacies as giving them an extra chance to see if they're a good fit and releasing them early if they're not so they can find a better fit. I think you're equating respect as an automatic bid which no sorority in the world does. If you are complaining on this website because you didn't get a bid to a house just because your mom or grandmother did, you need to work on your own SELF respect.

You are correct ^^^^ NO chapter automatically bids every legacy that comes through recruitment. If chapters had to honor every legacy there would be no room for other new members and let's face it, not every legacy is a fit for her mom/sister/grandmother's sorority. What does differ is how many invitations legacies are given to recruitment events. Most chapters are required to extend one courtesy invitation after Open House rounds after that they can be released. Some chapters cut legacies after Open House, it just depends on the chapter.

Every house has to follow their internationals policies. I'm sure that G Phi (and all other houses) do what they're supposed to do.

"Do what they're supposed to do" but still cut them anyway. They are only concerned with getting their friends they don't care about a legacy. If anyone thinks differently you're kidding yourself.

I don't get your problem. Are you a legacy that thought you could get a bid because your mom made donations? Did you think you had an automatic bid for some reason? I'd say their house is made up of outstanding girls. Lots of them have connections JUST LIKE AT EVERY HOUSE. I think you seem like you don't understand how sororities work. I'll give you one thing though. You're persistent. You carry your ignorance like a banner and wave it proudly over every comment. Just a suggestion, but you might consider calming down and enjoying your college years. Your bitterness could ruin these years for you.

So.... even though your mom gives them money they still released you? But you say they respect legacies. You definitely contradicted yourself. Hands down they do not care about legacies as do any house.
