My opinion may not be worth much..but food for thought. My daughter went through rush at UGA. Myself and my 2 sisters were Chi O's there. My daughter's paternal grandmother was also a Chi O. She was cut after round 2. That makes 35 minutes that my chapter got to know her. I don't believe that legacy means what it used to. Serious consideration..I do not think so. We are from out of state and she did not know anyone in the chapter, however I expected more consideration from the chapter that myself and my sisters before me were a part of. Sometimes I think these girls need to realize if it were not for the alumni before them they would not be there today. While I realize that their were probably many legacies going through, I would bet that no girl had 3 UGA legacies. I have supported my chapter throughout my alumni years and I feel badly that this happened. I am working through my hurt and anger, but to all the mothers out their it is hard when that hurt is put upon our children. My daughter grew up knowing Chi O and greek life. Luckily for me she has picked her self up and is getting involved in many UGA activities that in the long run will help her in life. I am sad though as I so wanted her to experience the sisterhood that I had.
