does it always hurt to be a legacy?

by:    

My best friend is a legacy to one of the bigger sororities. That didn't mean she wanted that one, she was just filling in the 'greek affiliation' blank. In fact, she wanted the one i pledged instead but was cut from almost every sorority after the 2nd party. She was saludictorian of our huge school, has an amazing resume, is pretty and friendly so we thought maybe it was because she was a legacy? It seems crazy just to assume girls will pledge the same sorority their mom did 30 years ago at a totally different school and cut them for that though. Another best friend (also a legacy) is coming to UT next fall. Should I tell her just not to put that??

Often if you are a legacy to a top tier one, others will cut you just for that reason on nights when they have to make huge cuts. Lots of great girls are cut that way and it's SO STUPID as half the time they probably don't even want the one their mom or whoever was in. Tell your friend not to put it down! Plus so many legacies go through now that likely, the one she's a legacy to won't even care unless it's some big deal alumni.

Now it rarely helps and usually hurts to be a legacy. So sad. Greek life is a mere shadow of what it used to be. Instead of lifelong sisterhood, it's often about trying to get the prettiest party girls the frat guys will like.

SO TRUE! Girls are getting in 'top
tier' now based on looks despite suspensions, arrests even! Those girls would have gotten cut the first night when sororities were based on finding girls with morals, grades, and talent! Plus no loyalty to those who have gone before and are the reason your house still exists today. So awful!
