Legacies can and do get cut. Last year there was a fourth generation ** at an SEC school who was a pretty, sweet and smart girl. Remember you have 19 and 20 year old girls making decisions (ever seen Mean Girls?). Then sometimes the PNM gets the double whammy that some groups will cut her because they assume she will join her legacy group. I have served as a general advisor and yes, certainly they have the right to choose who they want in their organization. But, there does seem to be some meanspiritedness at gunning for a sitting sister's biological sister or some triple legacy whose mom is working in the kitchen while they cut the girl. I know a woman this happened to. These are social groups who have the right to choose their members and, conversely, a legacy should not feel bound to her legacy group. Gator's family members have told her wonderful things about their group. But she also said she is securing her recs for other groups. Good luck to Florida Gator PNM and I hope she finds a home she will cherish. If it is her legacy group, it will be a great group she can share with her family. If not, she can find her own new group.
