No (unless you really don't want a bid). Contact the national headquarters directly.

Also, these things are going to vary WIDELY from school to school. At Tiny Northern U, there may be so few second-generation Greeks going through rush that anyone with any familial tie is considered a "legacy" (even if that's not a written national policy). At Bigass Southern U, a girl whose mom, grandma and 5 sisters aren't from THAT CHAPTER may have a problem getting the second look that a legacy would usually get -even if they are considered legacies through a written national policy.

As far as DDD, I don't think it's a matter of "enthusiasm," rather they had a smart person who did the math a long time ago and realized that if they extended legacy status too far through the family, they would be up the creek eventually.
