You have hit the nail on the head. Every NPC org can set their own policy regarding legacy designation. Some limit it to direct lineage of 1 generation, some to 2. Some include sisters, aunts and/or cousins. Some groups consider stepdaughters as legacies. My group recognizes great-grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, sisters. So my D is a single legacy through me and has an extra connection to my group through her aunt (my sister). If my sister and I were members of a different group, my D would be considered a double-legacy. Each NPC group also can set their own policy as to how much preference a legacy can receive from a group. Some sororities extend an automatic invitation to Round 2 of Recruitment to their legacies. Others are more generous. Usually if you type in the full name of the sorority.org you will pull up the national HW website. For the most part, you can find group-specific info regarding legacies.
