ok, now im wondering. what if a family adopts many children and their first adopted daughter joins QWE and the second daughter goes through recruitment. Is she a QWE legacy? and im assuming that no one in the family is biologically related... i would hope so since they are sisters, but is that a legal thing? maybe its a stupid question, but i have to know :p
There again... she would not "technically" be a legacy by the way the rules are written, but she should be treated as such.

Again, you're talking about a small thing, inviting them back to one party... small in terms of the impact on the chapter's rush at that early stage, but so meaningful to the PNM and to the sister.

For the other benefit of being a legacy - being on the first bid list if invited to pref - well you wouldn't have invited her to pref if you didn't want her to be your sister, right? :)

Legacies!
 
Well, it sounds like so much Bull S**T to me!

As I understand it, a Legacy has the first right, not the only right!:(

Flounder was a Leagacy, Ta Da!:rolleyes: DTX!

While since She was Brought up (Carnation) there is no reason that HER/Husbands adopted Children cannot be considered Legacies as the same as Blood Legacies. They are a very Part Of The Family!

I just wonder, if it is such a BlueBlood Group, then why would anyone want to join YOUR/Organization?:(

I think a perfect example is justamoms Son. 4 member of a Legacy, He joined none, but LXA!

Now, His Son, if He has one is a 5 Member Legacy!:cool:

But, if they are Dorkos then what! Closet Cases??:confused:

Why any separation of blood relative versus non (adopted) when it comes to legacies? I don't understand this. From a purely pragmatic perspective, aren't chapters made aware of legacies when they receive the info on a girls rush application, or when they receive a recommendation from an alum (could be her mom, I suppose). In either of those cases, where does the "she's adopted" part get announced? Nowhere, it seems (certainly not a box to check--nor should it be). So isn't it a moot point? Why have such a divisive policy (if it is in fact such--which I doubt) when there is nothing to be done to prove it and thus no means to enforce it?

I would love to see these "rules" spelled out....:rolleyes:
