In my chapter, legacies got an auto pass to Round 2. If we released a legacy, we had to do it after 2nd round. If she made it through our doors for 3rd round, she had a bid. Period.
If we released a legacy, one of our Alumni Advisors would call the mom, etc. In my four years, we released only one legacy...
Sad story. We once had a legacy whose grandmother was a sister. She wrote a three page letter, sent a half dozen photos. This was the youngest granddaughter and the only one who had ever gone to a school with our house on campus.
So, we had this girl on lockdown, and when she came in the door, one of the sweetest South Georgia girls started telling her that we'd heard so much about her from her grandmother. And the girl said, "My grandmother is crazy, and I have no intention of pledging this house".
That was the only time we ever released a legacy before second round, and as it turns out, she cut us too.
Go fig.
