importance of legacy
by: PNMHi everyone! I was just wondering how much importance each sorority places on legacies at TCU? My grandmother was in a specific house (I won't name names) and I was wondering if that actually helps? Furthermore, am I even a legacy if it was only my grandmother who was a member of this sorority? I know its different for each chapter... any insight into which chapters consider a granddaughter a legacy?

It really depends on the house. Legacies have to be invited back to at least the second round but that's all. Home houses put a lot of stock in legacies, others not so much. Be open to all the houses during rush because you want to end up in a house where you are wanted and click.

I know that some houses consider granddaughters legacies while other do not. For example Chi O and DDD don't consider them legacies while DG does. Check with the national guidelines. If anyone has info on houses to add that consider granddaughters legacies that would be great!

Check with you alumni chapter to confirm what the rules are for your group because they do vary

The above post is very helpful. Every house is different so do your research. Also, don't depend on a legacy because it isn't enough. Recruitment is very, very competitive at TCU. Last year there more girls that rushed than in the schools history. It's so hard to get in to TCU everyone has great grades and were leaders in high school. They all have money and TCU has been voted one of the most beautiful people campus' by News Week. So, legacy or not be your best at every house and know whatever houses invite you back should be treated with respect. They all have options and they chose you. That is worth a lot.

Some houses place much more emphasis on a first generation than others. Those houses really limit themselves and aren't necessarily the strongest ones anyway. Like the post above says do some research and if you don't end in the house your grandmother was in just know it was for a reason. You will end up in the house that wants you for you.

If your grandmother doesn't know if she would count as a legacy for her house you can contact your local alumni association or the TCU one and they can help you get the facts. A legacy is helpful but not a promise.

Great comment. Make your own path. If its your moms house great but things always change so maybe it will be somewhere different. Stay open minded.

Very honest advise if you don't click with the girls a legacy needs to stay in the past
