Question Does the concept of "legacy" exist in NPHC sororities?

This is for any ladies in NPHC sororities...does the concept of "legacy" exist in NPHC sororities?

Here is an excerpt from an NPC group, AOII, just so that the definition of legacy is clear...

"When possible, a chapter shall grant the privilege of membership
to a sister, daughter, or granddaughter, or, through marriage,
the sister, daughter or granddaughter of an initiated
member of AOII.” These words are taken from our International Bylaws, Title II, Article III, Section 1. OurBook of Policies further states that “every known legacy shall be given special consideration in membership selection.”

A legacy should be a qualified potential member in her own right --
grades, activities, accomplishments, and overall compatibility with the collegiate
chapter are to be considered. Collegiate members are asked to give special consideration to legacies during membership selection out of courtesy to the AOII sister
to whom she is related.

Special consideration -- What does this mean? This does not imply that we should
“bend the rules” or “lower the standards” in order to issue an invitation to pledge to a
legacy. This does not imply that we should hold our legacies to higher standards or
judge them differently than other potential members. In the words of AOII's Executive Director, we should give legacies special attention, our genuine friendliness, our family concern and the love they deserve during the recruitment process."

Thank you!
(My reasons for asking are merely for self-education).
