legacies in fraternities
seems like the legacy dilemmas and recommendations are mostly
in the sororities. The "rec" bit is the epitome of hypocrisy, and is
abused almost everywhere. When a really good candidate is on
the rush scene, many seek alums who will write a rec without even seeing the girl....
Fraternities rarely have legacy problems, for what reason I know
not, but think about this:
If you cut a legacy you can damned well forget about his dad or
other kin. This is not to say they will step up with big bucks at any case, but failing to bid a legacy will close the door on that
family for sure.
And, think of the squirrels you pledge who are not legacies; you
have but a short time to know them. And there is still the length
of pledgeship to decide...
The fraternity numbers, 'cept perhaps in dixie, are not that large,
and most of us are hardly exclusive. I think Abe Lincoln could've
been a Beta but the Dekes would not take him.
Do not deny a good man a chance...
Disclaimer...I am not aiming this at any group other than the traditional IFC-type system, so please don't pitch a hissy fit.
