Real Tea on Legacies and In House Sisters

It’s like you don’t even know the definition of a legacy….bye troll.

I think @Hmmm doesn't know the definition of legacy. Truth is that legacy isn't important like it used to be because there are so many of them now. Most nationals are moving away from legacy courtesy invites and Phi Mu no longer recognizes legacies at all. And each sorority defines legacy in their own way and some girls don't understand this and think they are a legacy through a cousin or aunt - NO. XO has never recognized granddaughters as legacies, only sisters and daughters. So anyway, the only legacy status that really matter is as a chapter legacy but that is only based on connections, not so much the legacy part. So if your cousin was in a house then that would be connections, not legacy. Connections to the chapter are everything here. Legacies get dropped all the time.

As a follow up, an in-house sister is generally a gimme, but not if she has a bad QR or if her sitting sister is/was disliked in her chapter.

It’s been made very clear this week that XO and I guess DG don’t give a crap about your family members. They will cut them and disassociate from them as quickly as possible. What amazing “sisterhoods”!

Dude they’re not gonna accept ppl who are a potential liability to the entire chapter, family or not.

Obviously not Ole Miss legacies….that’s what matters

Legacy policy is dictated by a sorority's nationals and Ole Miss sororities can and do have to adhere to it. Can they also have their own policy for chapter legacies? Yes. Does legacy mean much, even for legacies of a chapter? Not so much; that's where connections and politics come in. Legacies aren't guaranteed a thing and get dropped all the time.
