legacy
by: ppm#3by: Generally
I heard lots of tri-delt legacies got dropped. Generally I hear their nationals is less strict on legacies. KD and KKG are big on legacies. Of course this doesn't mean you'll get a bid from them if you're a legacy, or you won't get one from DDD as a legacy but these are generalisations.

legacy status is not important anymore. sorry to burst your bubbly, hunny, but coming here and being a legacy does not guarantee you a spot in any house. a few decades ago, even a few years ago legacy status was of the utmost importance and you were basically guaranteed a bid to that house, seeing that you were at least a pretty average PNM. but now since rush has become so much more competitive and that there are outstanding PNMs around every corner, a sorority would rather pledge an overall excellent PNM that isn't a legacy rather than an average PNM that is a legacy. being a legacy here nowadays is only an extra add on, kind of like another extracurricular club or some volunteer work you participated in during high school.

What you CAN count on if you are a legacy:
You will not fall through the cracks or be overlooked, which unfortunately can happen a lot because so many girls go through rush and there are many who are outstanding. If you are dropped from your legacy house, you know it is because they genuinely didn't see you as a good fit, NOT because you got overlooked because legacies will definitely be reviewed thoroughly.
What you CANT count on if you're a legacy: an automatic invitation back (different houses have different policies), or a guaranteed bid.

^ This. Legacy status ensures your rec will be thoroughly reviewed, that the girls you meet at the party will know you are a legacy, and your fit will be assessed as quickly as possible. Everyone recognized legacies have a deep connection to the house, so in many cases, if a house believes a legacy will not receive a bid, they cut as soon as possible, to give the legacy more time/opportunities to build a relationship with a different house.

PNM'S, before you call yourself a legacy, you might want to check to make sure you really are one first. Every national sorority has a different definition of legacy. Your grandma might not actually give you legacy status, and your cousin definitely doesn't. Get it straight now and check with the national sorority to get the real DL. Some nationals have a form for your legacy connection to send in as an introduction to the chapter, beyond whatever recs you get from others, and nationals can help you understand what to expect in the process as well.

If you are a legacy, be sure to list it on your registration. Only your legacy sorority will see that info. Don't assume sororities know which legacies are coming through. Unless you mark it on registration, or someone sends in a sponsor form stating that, they don't automatically know.

But a number of Alabama sororities have more legacies coming through they they could ever hope to pledge. They could fill two or three new member classes with legacies.
So they start early by releasing some legacies after first round.It's a blessing - you'll know right away to look for a group that you're a better fit for.
