Huge difference between a legacy whose mom/sis went to Cucumonga State and was an AB whenever...and when the PNM's sister is right there, active in the chapter, right now. I didn't click with everyone in the chapter all the time, but I could find something positive about each person and make an effort to be sisterly....with just about anyone just for the sake of world peace (or chapter peace, as it might be.) Couldn't you?
Does anyone think that maybe the title "legacy" should only apply after you pledge (for example, being initiated first among your class, or having the special privilege of wearing a relative's badge) vs. before you become a new member? Maybe if we did that, families would back off the pressure and celebrate the individual's choice...and chapters wouldn't be in such an awkward position.
