Similar situation as honeychile's, we had a 4-generation legacy. At least one relative had been an International officer of some sort, all women were very involved and I think almost all female relatives (like 15-20 some) had gone our org except two that went a different org (and someone was
not happy). We had quite a few recs for her.
I know the mother was calling her every night to see how things were going and always asked what she thought of our house. I ended up preffing her because everyone else in the house was scared or had a hard time talking to her. She was a charming, if off-beat, young lady and was a wonderful asset to our chapter. She later confided to me that
I was the reason she chose our house because I told her to do what
she wanted to do, she was the one who had to be a part of our chapter, not her mom or grandma or anyone else. Her younger sister is now a member of our chapter as well.
On the reverse, we had a legacy one year who was very rude, unkempt, and had poor manners. She boasted about how she knew she was a legacy to our house and another and how
one of them
had to take her. She would not have been a good fit with our chapter and was released early in the week.
