Alpha Phi will give no preferential treatment to legacies

[Jen]

Alpha Phi has just sent out a letter stating that legacies will no longer be given special treatment during recruitment.

"Previously, a legacy had to receive an invitation to the first invitational round of recruitment and if they accepted an invitation to preference, they must be placed at the top of the bid list.

Legacies will still be defined as any daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, stepdaughter, sister or stepsister of an initiated member of Alpha Phi, but chapters will now treat them equally to every other potential new member during the recruitment process."

They also said that Alpha Phi has no rec requirement/policy and encouraged chapters to assess their practices to ensure that recs are not required or cause preferential treatment.

Definitely a step in the right direction. Let's hope there's more to come.
