Oh believe me, the rec girl and her MOM (who the legacy was) knew it was NOT a guaranteed bid but, of course, the girls in the chapter certainly made her FEEL like she was in and was wanted and would be getting a bid. I'm sure the ones who knew her did want her in. She just wasn't high enough on the list, I get that. It just saddens me that that IS our legacy policy. I think chapters need to know who their legacies are and if they want them, they should decide by the 3rd round. It makes it more fair for the pnm's and other sororities to know that the legacy chapter is not going to take them. So they shouldn't be invited to pref! I knew the policy before last year when my DD went thru at an SEC school. Thank God my sorority released her after skit day but she has a pledge sister who did get invited to my sorority (and her mom's sorority) and ended up not getting a bid nor did she get her 2nd choice because they assumed she would get her legacy so she got her 3rd choice and pledged with my daughter. You can imagine neither she nor her mom were happy (especially if they didn't know) and I just don't think that needs to happen!
