why did kappa cut so many legacies and courtesies
by: ????My aunt was the recruitment chairmen and another exec position and then the vice president of the Delta Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Ole Miss and I was cut from Kappa after sisterhood. This doesn't make sense to me considering her standing within the sorority and the fact she wrote my letter. Other girls who had no connection with the kappa were given a bid instead of me I'm just really confused and still upset. did this sort of thing happen to anyone else?

Hate to break it to you, but it was probably your attitude. With the new quota system, chapters couldn't afford to just take a whole bunch of "legacies" (even if Aunt is considered a legacy, because for some sororities it isn't). The sisters probably saw that you felt entitled to a bid, and that's a huge no. Chapters want girls who are confident, enthusiastic about joining their sisterhood, and connect with the sisters. They don't want any member who thinks they'll just get a bid because mommy or whomever will get it for them!

It's actually nicer to release the girl if you are not going to extend her a bid. I don't see how it is 'courteous' or respectful to string anyone along. It is actually rude and self centered.

I've never seen it as "stringing along", but more as an extra chance for those girls to get seen by the chapter and make a good impression. Besides, we have no idea with the new quota system if they even followed this policy, since membership selection is secret.

At IMO - I see your point but I honestly thought most sororities know which legacies they're keeping prior to rush starting...
So, let me ask you in all honesty.... is selection process a secret among the chapter actives? If it is, I would think that could/would breed distrust among the members. Why aren't all the girls on the same level in choosing new members?
Is this what people mean when they say their advisors and alumni have too much of a voice?

Your question about some members having more say it's more complicated thank that. Think of it as an electoral college. They usually go along with the popular vote unless they know stuff that the girls in the chapter cant know to be respectful to the pnm

that's different (and secret) in every chapter. For my chapter, we agree at the end of the year what qualities we want to look for in PNMs based on what qualities we've been focusing on as a chapter, and from there our exec builds the scorecard. then each sister will score the PNMs they talk to, but other sisters have opportunities to speak out about a PNM they think is problematic, or they want to see ranked higher on our list.

I thought she was saying some girls were considered "courtesies" in the original post which I had never heard of. I get what she was saying now. But an aunt isn't considered a legacy for Kappa so she wouldn't have gotten a courtesy invite back to the next round anyways. For actual legacies though, they will be asked back to the second round no matter what and will be released after that if the chapter votes to release her. The girl that made this original post though wasn't a legacy so

1. The chapter had a HUGE number of legacies going through and as the niece of a KKG, you weren't considered a legacy.
2. Due to variable quota and RFM, the chapter had to make large releases earlier then later in the week.
3. Try not to take it personally. I hope you found a home!

It's a showing of politeness towards others? Like because you're a legacy, they'll invite you back for one extra round out of respect for that initiated sister, but it's no guarantee that you get a bid, but that person will likely get a call if the legacy is released.
