They can make mistakes as has been seen and those who do not make it can go on and become great members of other GLOs.  |
Well, my sorority DOES have a legacy policy. If a legacy is invited to pref she goes on the first list, no matter what. If you are not willing to offer her a bid, you don't invite her to pref. My daughter's GLO has a different policy, but they still give legacies special consideration IF they invite them to pref. Our policy also sort of mirrors the whole "release figures" idea--it is kinder to let them go earlier in the process so that they can consider other options than to carry them longer when you know that they are not a good fit.
Something a friend pointed out to me today: some GLOs count only daughters and sisters as legacies. Others count granddaughters and nieces...some girls may be a legacy to XYZ because their grandmother was an XYZ, but not a legacy to PDQ even though their OTHER grandmother was a PDQ....this might be one explanation for the "legacy dropped after pref" situation.
