legacy
by: BambiMy step-mom was in ADPI at USC, I was wondering if that counts as me being a legacy or not?

Alpha Delta Pi's legacy policy specifically states that "steps" are NOT legacies. Only actual daughters, granddaughters, and sisters are afforded legacy status. This means that the chapter can release you at any time and if they carry you to pref they do not have to put you on the first bid list. However, your step mom should send the chapter a recommendation form and make clear her connection to the chapter as an alum and her connection to you. The chapter may consider this relationship.

There is no specific statement on adopted children; adopted children are the initiate's direct line, so they are legacies.

I agree with sorority. Your step mother needs to contact nationals. I'm sure this question is asked every year and they will have an official answer. If their knee-jerk reaction is no, it might make a difference if she explained how she sees your relationship, meaning if she considers you her daughter/ raised you/ etc. No matter what nationals says, make sure to get 1 to 2 letters of recommendation to every house. I don't know if USC allows this, but I help ADPi elsewhere and we receive cakes, cookies, posters, pencils, etc. with legacy/ highly promoted PNM's names on them. We do not give these out to the girls but we see them. Your stepmom might want to do that for certain houses. I love ADPi as a national organization, but please go through rush with an open mind. My secret is I wanted to join another house and was upset at first. Yet, I ended up just fine, and I promise you will too. What I'm taking too long to express is I suspect I would have felt happy at most houses. It really is what you make of it, and so is rush. Try to relax and look forward to meeting women. I wish you the absolute best wherever you end up, and don't let anyone else steal your joy. This is your adventure and experience.
