"Hopefully I'll be close enough to them that I don't feel like I NEED to be her "sister" to be connected and close."
Sorry about the confusion but I wasn't refering to a previous post. This is my feeling based on what I've personally seen.
Some girls in my chapter were initially snubbed by thier mom's for months because they pledged a different GLO. That was heartbreaking to witness.
Also I've seen our advisors get so excited when a new legacy is born because "when she grows up mother and daughter will share our 'special bond'". That has always made be think that it would be so sad if you had to be your daughter's "sister" to feel bonded to her.
HARLEMGIRL-
Your post:"SoCal: being a legacy doesn't necessarily mean that ur in. not all orgs have that policy. and those that do can decide whether or not they want it to be known."
My post:"Plus I'd hate for them to feel like they only got accepted because they were a leg. I have sisters that never mentioned that they were legacies of various glos because they didn't want that to happen."
THE KEY WORDS HERE ARE "FEEL LIKE"! As in to BELIEVE BUT NOT KNOW FOR SURE! New members wouldn't really find out until after they were initated what the policy is. Since I'm in a GLO I know that this rarely is actually what happens. And OBVOUSLY I'd know if this was my org's policy or not! Plus I have NEVER said what GLO I am in. So how exactly am I "letting it be known" what the policy is?
