I'm no longer shocked by angry legacy moms. What kills me though are:

- Those who don't bother sending in Intros and Recs for their own daughters. (Had a double legacy this year with nothing.)

- Those who think that "direct" legacies (i.e. mom was initiated at this chapter) deserve more consideration than a legacy from another chapter. (Have had moms chew me out because my chapter pledged legacies with moms from Somewhereelse U and not their daughters.)

- Moms who think minimum GPAs don't apply to legacies and we should automatically give them grade exceptions. Um ...no.

- Moms who have no idea what their precious daughters have posted on Facebook for the world to see. :groan:

- Moms who think that just because they were Pres or held whatever office 18+ years ago their legacy deserves more consideration. Hey, I've been working with this chapter for 15 years and I've never even heard your name. To paraphrase Janet Jackson, what have you done for us lately?

- Moms who throw a hissy fit because they've given money to the I/Natl org and/or Foundation over the years. Did you donate because you believe in your org or was it supposed to be a bribe? Besides, how fair would it be if we discriminated against legacies whose parents aren't wealthy enough to give a ton of money?
