Are recommendations normal at Cal? And also, does my aunt make me a legacy, or is that a title reserved only for granddaughters or daughters?
Thanks!

At least one NPC, Sigma Kappa, considers nieces to be legacies. Even if you're not a legacy, you should ask your aunt and step cousin write you recs. I wouldn't think it would be weird to have a rec from family members or other alumnae who know you well (this goes for the other chapters at Cal, too). A big stack of recs from women you don't know personally might look out of place at Cal.
