Never a big deal in this house where "legacy" was concerned.
Everyone KNOWS I love that my kids did decide to persue Greek Life.
One thing that kind of worries me about nudging kids to their legacy is this-
If your child is a legacy to a strong, highly regarded GLO on the campus of their choice, I think MOST of us would like to play the legacy card. Yet, if their legacy is small or struggling, we probably wouldn't expect or push our kids to "take" THEM!
We don't like it when our child falls victim to their legacy deciding our child isn't right for THEM- double edged sword!
Eventually, the legacy factor may become rather meaningless, especially on the larger Greek campuses.
For that very reason, I never did talk up AXO (not on campus anyway) or SX too much. It always fell within the realm of going Greek.
