I'd want my daughter to be happy, no matter what house she did or did not get into. That would matter to me more than anything.

I wouldn't want her to go into a house that she didn't like just b/c she was a legacy. She likely wouldn't be happy, because she didn't like the house.

I wouldn't want her to get strung along by a house and given more than one courtesy invite, when the house really didn't think she was a good fit and then cut her right before prefs. I've seen numerous complaints in threads on here about houses continuing to give invites to women that they didn't intend to pref or give a bid to just so that their parties look full, etc. Then that girl gets her hopes up and gets crushed even more. If a house does not think a woman is a good fit, then don't invite them back. Give other houses a chance to get to know her, and let her get to know other houses she may fit into better.

I wouldn't want her to receive a bid to a house just because she was a legacy if the sisters didn't think she was a good fit outside of the fact that she was a legacy. Who wants to go somewhere where you weren't really wanted?

My daughter's happiness will matter more than whether she joins KD or XYZ or doesn't go greek at all.

Regardless of whether or not someone is a legacy, rush is, and has been, MUTUAL SELECTION.
