I appreciate the sentiments expressed by Nut et al.
Statistically, all legacies cannot and will not be offered membership in their legacy chapter(s). It's a simple mathematical fact. If our chapters consisted mainly of legacies, we'd be doing them as well as ourselves a disservice. As alumnae we cannot and should not interfere in membership selection, and that includes any sort of "pressure" to pledge legacies. They should be given special consideration; however, we all know that not all legacies want to join their legacy chapter, nor should they. In many cases it is not a good fit.
Personally I'm especially tickled when "famous" or well-known legacies pledge a non-legacy chapter. The Pioneer Woman's daughter comes to mind - she is a thrilled Tri Delta, with a Pi Phi mother. And Katie Couric's Tri Delta legacies both pledged Theta. There are many, many other examples. Going to a non-legacy chapter is not the Kiss Of Death.
At the end of the day we are more similar than different and I am happy to see legacies join any chapter, truthfully.
