I know our house isn't that way.
I actually ran into some sisters of my friend (we shall call Scarlett) at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans. They were pledges on their walk-out. I mentioned that I knew Scarlett and grew up next door to her. They started going on and on about how great she was and that they had visited her home and knew where I lived etc... In any case, what really amazed me was that one of them - flat out - said that they knew that Scarlett was a legacy to another house and that she wanted it but didn't get in. They also "understood" the pressure to do so and - for lack of a better way of putting it - did not hold it against her. This was when I realized that Ole Miss greek life was quite different. Even from the other SEC schools.
