Ack! I think it goes without saying that anyone who is a descendant of an Adelphean (and I daresay, a Philomathean) would be considered a legacy. It's just too much history to ignore. The five generation legacy had both an Adelphean AND an Alpha Delta Phi!
She's a great example, though, of how some people just don't
want a sorority forced upon them. Sue had it all, but with all those generations, plus aunts & cousins, who were ADPis, she simply didn't want to go Greek. She got initiated at Convention, then transferred schools so she wouldn't have to be active.
The upside is that her roomie went ADPi with her, and she was an awesome sister!
ETA: I think when chapters are on the small side, or legacies and/or recs aren't quite as important, legacy develops a much looser meaning than say, an SEC school.
