But when you do find a "fit" in a GLO to which you are a legacy, it's nice to have that connection - and it keeps generations of alumnae tied together.
At my chapter, there are several sets of in-house legacies, which is soo fun during Recruitment and afterwards - when the girl really comes into her own and you almost forget she's someone's younger sister. In-house legacies for your own sorority (and for others as well) always get a lot of attention, but not to the point that other PNM's feel neglected or she feels smothered - it's just exciting to know that she's coming into the party. Kind of like, "So and so's sister is all grown up!" Or maybe that's just me...

I would assume that y'all would have a TON of legacies come through. We had 2 legacies in our chapter, both double legacies, and it was fun going to the one girl's house because it was like partying with one of your sisters, even though it was the girl's mom.
I don't know whether or not this has been mentioned or not, but I know that legacies are looked on highly because they aren't as likely to drop, either. And, taken a step further, are usually highly active.
