This isn't the first time I've heard of this happening. What's sad is, there was probably a chapter where the sister WOULD have fit in, but because of a possible defeatist attitude, she never got a real chance.

It should serve as a lesson to those chapters who would cut legacies to other houses without giving them a shot. In my chapter, one sister had two in-house sisters in another sorority, but still went ADPi. Two others had sisters who had just graduated from another chapter, and at least two of us decided not to pledge our legacy chapters. That's five woman right there who wouldn't have gotten a second chance on another campus!
