Does anyone know how important legacies are to each chapter?

To the “top 3” (chi o, KD, DG) very important. Basically if you aren’t a legacy you are looked over. Phi Mu, DDD, adpi, zta, and pi phi, not as important but still looked at. People will try to say that legacies aren’t important at the top 3, but they are.

Speaking as a phi mu, legacies are very important. You cannot speak as an expert for these sororities. I mean, you have no idea what is expected in each group as you are not a member of all. You cannot know all of the rules and executive decisions because of that. You are what we call a know it all.

I think legacies are valued in all houses, but probably not as much as when your mom was in school. There are just too many now. With each generation there are more and more so it’s harder to place as much weight on that.

The only house where legacies are super looked upon is Chi O. Otherwise its just how much each house genuinely likes you.

I am not a chi o but I have a lot of close Chi O friends and this is not true.

Ugh. Guess my chances of getting in the top 3 are pretty slim now

Dg has a new national policy to treat legacies like everyone else in recruitment that was just rolled out about a month ago (I don’t go here I just find the southern schools Greek rank drama really entertaining)

Legacies are really important at the “traditional top houses” but that definitely doesn’t mean everyone is a legacy. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to get you to ignore those houses in favor of theirs. I will only speak for DG, but our MCs are typically 1/3 legacies and 2/3 non legacies. We don’t want a chapter of just legacies. It’s actually super competitive among our legacies to get one of those spots because we could fill more than an entire class with legacies but we actively avoid doing that. Like someone mentioned above, the new policy from Nationals is eliminating legacy consideration (a couple other sororities have already announced this as well and I’m sure they will all end legacy status at some point), but since this is the first year I don’t know how it will affect rush. I’m sure legacies will still be looked at extra hard out of respect, but there won’t be an official policy or automatic invite to the second round as a courtesy.
