I believe in treating our legacies with respect and accord, out of consideration for their mother, sister or grandmother. It can be complicated when the number of legacies coming through outnumber the size of a chapter's new member class!

And it is true that the non-legacy chapters can immediately dismiss a legacy without giving her a chance to try out her legacy sorority or the others at all. I have also known some legacies who to this day wonder if they only got a bid because of their status-- making them very insecure in their membership!

Those challenges aside, I believe the legacy policy is important and should continue as it is.

If I have a daughter who someday wants to explore Greek Life, my greatest wish is for her to find the happiness I have found-- in the sorority that is best for her! It would be a wonderful experience to share ADPi together, but not a deal-breaker in her persuit of sorority membership.
