does being a legacy hurt or help?

by:    

I will be entering LSU in the Fall as a new Freshman and I am so excited! I definitely plan on going through Recruitment. I am a double legacy (mother and grandmother - both at LSU) . My sister is in a different sorority at a different school, but LSU has this one. Do you think that the other sororities will just automatically cut me based on the fact that I am a legacy for 2 different sororities? I really hope the other groups are receptive to me,. I love being a legacy but want to be my own person too.

Being a legacy can hurt or help and sometimes it has no baring at all. it really is a case by case thing.

being a legacy can definitely hurt you, but if you have a good personality you should be good

Hurt how? At the house where you are a legacy or the houses where you aren't?

I meant hurt me at the houses where I am not a legacy. They may automatically think that I would prefer to go with either one of my legacy sororities. I feel blessed to be a legacy to both, but hope that my options are open to the others too.

It could hurt at houses that you aren't a legacy at because those houses will probably assume that you will want to be in whatever sorority that you are a legacy of. I know "higher ranked" sororities get really competitive with it, but for the most part, you should be fine. However, if you do not want to join the sorority that you are a legacy of, I would be sure to let the houses that you do like know that!

It really depends. There isn't a lot you can do about it so just go through rush and deal.

It really depends on which house. Some care more than others. Just express your enthusiasm to rush and get to know all the houses. don't bring up being a legacy either unless asked (but don't stay on the topic too long)
