We've had several legacies from all three organizations go through at some point or another over the past few years. Our approach is to let the sisters know of ALL the legacies, whether they are G Phi or not...and even if the organization they are a legacy to doesn't exist on our campus. But beyond that, there is no specification while rushing them. We treat them as we would treat anyone coming through because we don't want anyone to feel as though they are more or less important than anyone else.
As far as "home rush" is concerned, one of my littles is a legacy. Her grandmother had told her all about her experience as a G Phi, but also that it was her decision where she went and that she shouldn't feel obligated to pledge G Phi if it wasn't where she felt comfortable (but we got her any way!!).
One of my pledge sisters is also a G Phi legacy and her experience from a different organization on campus made her drop them. She had mentioned at the first round that her sister had been in a sorority and had gone to our school. The sister at that organization that was rushing her at the time asked which sorority. My sister didn't want to specify because she wanted to go through recruitment with an open mind. But when she did say G Phi, the sister rushing her basically stopped trying. So don't snub a potential just because she's a legacy of a different organization... You never know, she could prove to be a very good sister in your own organization.
