I myself was not a legacy, nobody in my family ever went to college before. But my sorority is local and we have had many girls who were legacy to other organizations join ours. My ex-roommate was a legacy to another sorority because of her sister. Her sister was at a different school which made a lot of difference. She said that she would have considered joining her sisters sorority if she had been at the same school, but the girls at our school weren't her type. Her sister was not upset at all and totally understands the decision she made.
My sorority has been around 12 years and we have had 7 or 8 legacies.
I think that it is wonderful for those who choose to join a sorority or fraternity because they are a legacy, but I think that they should not feel obligated to do so.
