I have explained this to my daughter and have told her that if she gets a bid to any chapter, I will be happy for her and that I hope she has the same wonderful experience I had/have with my chapter. I saw the facebook thing and laughed. People read your Alumni Magazine!

Best of luck to little atrianglepi! Please keep us posted!
FWIW, I've told the story often, but in the late 70's, my chapter was forced to bid a five-generation legacy. She really didn't want to go greek at all, and did the very least she could, including getting inititated at Convention and then changing schools.
I would be willing to bet that is one of the reasons some legacies are being ignored; they don't want to be there. Rather than mandate that all legacies must be on the Bid List, it's better to bid a woman with a great background and is happy to accept that bid!
