Alpha Xi Delta's is:

A legacy is the granddaughter, daughter or sister of an Alpha Xi Delta member. This includes half-sisters or step relations. Alpha Xi Delta college chapters are not required to pledge every legacy, but they are obligated to give each legacy special attention and careful consideration during recruitment.

A legacy may be released during recruitment only with the permission of the chapter's Area Facilitator. If the chapter has received a reference on a legacy, and that legacy is released, the mother, grandmother or sister is called and told of the decision.

An Alpha Xi Delta legacy should be a qualified potential member who meets Alpha Xi Delta's grade requirements, is compatible with chapter members, and is involved in campus/community activities.
I may be wrong, but it has been my understanding that Alpha Xi considers nieces to be legacies, too. I seem to recall that nieces were added in the relatively recent past, but IDK the exact date. See

"Alpha Xi Delta's Legacy Policy: Is your daughter, granddaughter, sister or niece going through recruitment (this includes half-sisters and step relatives)? If so, then she is a legacy!"
