Hi, Shadokat--
No, my sorority would never cut girls just because of their race--but I know that individual chapters of several nationals do just because individual girls can be prejudiced and like I said, it doesn't take too many members to cut a girl! No one would say,"Let's cut her, she's not white," but they might just use the old standby of saying, "She'd just fit in better someplace else," with significant looks that might lead people to think she was wild or whatever. You know, it's really not too hard to cut a rushee you don't like; if you don't want to state your reason aloud, there are other ways.
I'm sure we--and and my oldest daughter's sorority-- have the general NPC policy about legacies that says all legacies will be asked back to at least one set of invitationals and if they're asked back to prefs, they have to be put on the first list. To the best of my knowledge, neither sorority has to report to anyone when they cut a legacy, although it's a good idea. I think many actives don't realize the preciousness of a legacy bond...and therefore, that cutting those girls should never be done rashly or lightly.
It'd be great if my girls pledged one of the groups they're legacies to, but more and more I just want to see them happy with the sorority they pledge.
