I wish I knew how all this stuff really worked. My sister attended the same college that I go to now (she's 9 years older than me, so not on campus at the same time as me, obviously), and I was a legacy through her. I adored this house when I went through recruitment, and not because I was a legacy, but because the girls were wonderful. Imagine my dismay when I had been going to their parties all week during recruitment, and I got my list of houses to go to on pref day and they weren't on it. I'm happy where I am, but it still bugs me a little because to this day I have no idea why I was cut. I wasn't expecting to get in automatically because I was a legacy, but I thought that should give me a little extra consideration, plus I loved the house and thought everyone there liked me too. <Sigh>
