Legacy

[AOII Angel]

I was a legacy to AOII. Looking back I didn't really have a choice which sorority to join since my sister (who is less than a year older than me) pledged the year before. If she hadn't been a member I don't know what I would have chosen. Don't get me wrong....I love my chapter and my sorority. But, I didn't give it much thought since I would have devastated my sister by pledging another group. Do you think being a legacy is too much pressure for rushees?
I give you another example. We got a new member the year after I joined who was a double legacy to Phi Mu. She put them first on her pref list, but on bid day was running down our hall crying. Once she got over "letting her sisters down" she became a wonderful AOII. I know she loves AOII, but her bid day was a nightmare. (I still wonder why Phi Mu didn't take her...The rest has been edited in respect to a fellow sister!)
