Yeah, oddly enough, most of the legacy backlash/anger stories I know of involve sister legacies (maybe we aren't old enough to know many moms with kids of that age yet).

There was a girl who was a senior and officer in a chapter. We all knew that this girl's sister was coming through. If you hung out with Big Ssiter, you kind of knew that she assumed sister would get a bid. Younger sister got cut the night before Pref, but ended up joining another chapter. The fallout from the decision to cut Younger Sister was such that Big Sister terminated her membership right after recruitment (after being active and an officer for 3 years).

Two years ago, another alumna friend of mine had a little sister coming through. She was cut by her legacy house after day 2. I know this because after I got home from helping out with recruitment, I saw "XYZ at KENT STATE can F*** OFF!!!" in her FB status and twitter timeline. Several times. Big Sister deleted everything XYZ from her FB after that too. Sister ended up pledging elsewhere, but not initiating.

I have to wonder how it feels to be in a different chapter, knowing that your relative is that upset about it.

Makes me wonder how many parents are TRUTHFULLY that supportivr when their daughters end up pledging elsewhere...
