My legacy story . . . my mother belonged to Theta Psi Delta, a local sorority at Southwest Texas. When NPC groups came on campus, they became a NPC sorority, but my mother was unable to come be initiated. Fast forward - I am going through rush at SWT. The morning of second round, I was told of my aunt's death. I went to my "legacy" group - and when asked how I was doing, burst into tears. I was cut that night. In retrospect, it may have been because I was a sophomore, having transferred from another school. At any rate, I obviously went Gamma Phi. When my mother inquired about initiation into the NPC group Theta Psi became, she was told she would have to go through rush, essentially. Uh, no. I'm happy to report that she is now a proud Gamma Phi Beta, who served for years as a chapter advisor.
Oh - and when I graduated, my mother was seated next to several of her Theta Psi sisters. I was selected as the Outstanding Senior Woman of my class, and during the ceremony one of my mother's sisters asked her why I wasn't a member of THEIR sorority. My mother enjoyed filling her in . . .
