Legacy Policy
Webster's New World Dictionary defines legacy as "anything handed down from or as from an ancestor," i.e., the Alpha Sigma Tau experience as passed on by a grandmother, mother, or sister. Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary describes legacy as "something received form an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." . . .
. . . The role of alumnae during recruitment is to provide complete references for legacies and to be sure collegians know about legacies participating in recruitment so they will be given every possible consideration for membership.
Alpha Sigma Tau does not promise membership to a legacy. She and the chapter each maintain their right of choice. Membership selection remains the responsibility and right of each collegiate chapter. However, a legacy is afforded certain considerations during recruitment. Each legacy should be invited back to the first invitation recruitment party, and each chapter members is obligated to make every effort to get to know her. If a legacy does not of through recruitment, the chapter is encouraged to make a personal visit to get to know her. If the legacy attends the preference party, she must be placed within the chapter's first bid list. Any chapter not at total should extend a bid to any legacy participating in recruitment who demonstrates she embellishes the standards and ideal of the Sorority.
