Yeah. :(




:D

I have a question on this, out of curiosity, does this happen allot? And when it does, is the kid usually a pain and end up not get initiated or does it just depend on the individual?

Most of those kids tend to be pretty cool anyways, but the ones we kind of have to give bids too some learn the ropes and turn out ok, others get cut, about 50/50 I would say. And then the alums understand that we gave them a chance and they didn't do what it took.

We had a fat kid that was a super legacy. Turned out to be a pretty cool guy, regardless.

Oh okay cool. :)

But, if you just found out you are a legacy, I wouldn't put too much stock into it. Don't even think about hey im a legacy here while you're there. If you get too caught up in it, you'll bomb it. I've seen it happen.

ETA: Also, if you make a huge deal out of being a legacy at a house and they cut you, other chapters are going to look at that and think well they cut a legacy, thats obviously something we don't want to get into. We had a chapter here cut a legacy, another chapter picked him up, ended up being one of the worst moves they ever pulled. Not saying that they are all going to be like that, but it will make the road tougher to hoe.

I'll maybe mention it once or twice if it seems appropriate at the time or only if asked. I won't say "my name is..., I'm a legacy" to every person that I meet and act like I'm guaranteed a bid.

I got you. Thanks. It was really just a general question. Theres only one house i know of at the college im going to that i might be a legacy at, but yeah im not going to make a huge deal over that at all. I really just want to pursue the house where i connect more with the guys in it and where i can see see my self staying at for 3- 4 years (because i might need to take an extra year with my major.)

Where are you a legacy?
