ridiculous it may be, but it happens.
when i was vp of membership for the alum. chapter when i lived in tulsa, i was personally calling sisters who had been active at one time, but had not been in a while. i got hold of one woman who ripped me a new one, because her daughter was dropped by her chapter, and pledged another sorority. the woman supported her daughter and helped out at that house during rush and for other events, but as long as i lived in tulsa, she never paid her alum. dues nor did she come to or support any zeta events. my ears still burn when i think of that call. |

So really, at certain schools, the legacies that are "in danger" of being cut are the ones that are just kind of "middle of the road?"
Like, they aren't really stellar PNMs to begin with, mom isn't super involved, maybe they're from out of state, etc. and they just don't stand out from the ones who are great PNMs to begin with, have direct ties to the chapter, daughters of highly involved alumnae that everyone knows, etc. Kind of off topic: not that getting cut is funny, but I find the funniest angry parents are the ones who are SO ANGRY that their legacy daughter was cut, but there was NO LEGACY form for her and NO MENTION of it on her app. Well how were the girls supposed to know she was a legacy? They don't read minds. Maybe this doesn't happen in the south, but I've seen this happen here. |

I've never seen it end well. Both times I knew of it happening with an active sorority member, Big Sister quit. In the instances of recent alumnae younger sisters being cut, I've seen them cut all ties with an org over it. |

As disturbing and cruel as I find cutting an in house to legacy, it's just as awkward and horrible when an active sister badmouths her younger sister coming through recruitment.

I have a family member who is an (probably eternal) aspirant and I wouldn't want her to become a member (at least anytime soon) if I had any say so. So, I can see how this could be the case for more immediate legacies (parents or siblings are members).

During my collegian years, we had 3 in-house sister legacies pledge. Everyone loved them. We had another possible one coming up, who we all liked fine, but she made it quite clear that she didn't want to be a part of us. I honestly can't remember who cut who. She pledges our rival and a year later all she can tell her bio sister is how miserable she is. Sorry baby girl, you had your chance. We also found out (after the fact) that one of our pledges had a cousin in another group (coincidentally the same one as above) who pushed for them to cut her. As it turned out cousin was hella smarter than we were as we ended up terminating her for a myriad of bad behavior. |
We once cut an in-house sister legacy who was, indeed, a super slutbot. The in-house sister wasn't too upset - she knew what her bio sis was. The legacy pledged another house but didn't last long there, or at our school.

My older daughter (who didn't pledge but went to the same university as younger daughter) and I "knew" what choices the Reluctant One would have going in. One house surprised us, but I understood why it wasn't a fit from the beginning. And yes, prior to recruitment we (the elders) "knew" where she would pledge if the PNM was to stick it out.
If the birth order had been reversed and there was a younger sister: I know that if she wasn't offered a bid the Reluctant One would have gone on a tirade. And that, shall I say delicately, would be very unpleasant. |
