SoCalGirl-Do you mean that the legacy of the strong chapter you'd still rush hard but think hard about putting her first because, chances are, she'll go to her mom's house? And the leg to the weak chapter you'd rush hard and actually rank her higher than the leg of the strong chapter?
Yes, exactly! For example, prior to this fall recruitment, in NORMAL CONVERSATION, several girls let it be known who they were legacies to.
Any one who is attentive to such a conversation should be able to tell if she has made up her mind (heart).This is where having a sister paying attention to their own back yard comes in handy. Carry her if she has a "tribe" of desireable followers, but when it gets to the point of hard decisions, I would want her ranked below every rushee that examplifed my chapter's standards and had not openly declared a preference.
I think we lose the meaning of that word because we have shortened it to PREF. If we think about it, PREFERENCE, I think we should show preference to those who are open and focus our recruitment efforts where it can make a difference. There is significance to who you keep. Sometimes there can be significance to who you release. Just an "old ladies" opinion.
