Legacy dropped R1 recruitment
Hi,
My daughter just went through recruitment. The day before they ended up switching to a virtual format because of Covid so it was not the recruitment anyone had hoped for. They watched sorority videos and videotaped themselves so it was hard to get a feel for the houses, and I am sure, visa versa. My daughter is a legacy. She was released after the first round and never even got to meet them. Frankly, I was dumbfounded. But I understand these things happen.
I am aware that the AOII legacy policy was changed but I am still surprised that they wouldn't consider her a good fit since she checks a lot of boxes..
The problem is..., I never received a phone call that she would not be asked back to any of the virtual parties. I did send in a recommendation with all my info too so they had my contact info. Obviously, I can't speculate too much on what went wrong but why wouldn't they contact me via phone or email? Should I reach out to them and ask them why they did not offer that courtesy? The bylaws state: If a chapter releases a legacy at any point during the recruitment process, a member of the Alumnae Advisory Committee must contact the AOII relative of the legacy by telephone, if possible and with consideration to time, prior to distribution of invitations for the next round of recruitment events.
