"Poaching!" I love the term -- never heard it called that regarding legacies.

Not that I'm competitive (well, maybe just a wee little bit!), but I did take great pleasure in rushing and pledging other group's legacies.

I can think of two "success" stories from when I was a collegian:

"Jan" was the great-grandaughter of a founder of Phi Mu. Her mother called her before pref and said she was "polishing the badge" for her. She joined Chi Omega and was a very happy, active member and alumna. Her freshman year she was Homecoming Queen!

"Pam" got a strong rush from Chi Omega, but pledged Phi Mu. We continued to remain friends throughout her freshman year. She depledged Phi Mu before her initiation and joined Chi Omega the next year during formal rush. She later served the chapter as an officer and was a Miss Mercer contestant.

You think I was a good poacher??!?
