I understand why legacies are given some extra treatment (at some places that is). I mean the parents do have more of a clue about greek life than non-greek parents, but on the other hand, I feel like it puts pressure on the PNM. If I don't like Mom/Sister/whatever sorority will they be mad? If Patty PNM is a legacy to XYZ the other sororities will cut her because that is the only place she will want to be.
The two examples I put above have been things I've heard tossed around GC or on my campus. A girl I have known all my life went through recruitment after her mother and sister went through on the same campus. Older daughter almost didn't continue through recruitment because she didn't like her mom's chapter. The second daughter was crying when she went through because she didn't know what to do with her family's chapters. Was she supposed to love them? She ended up pledging her sister's sorority (sisters squared) and her mother was fine with that, but both daughters had a lot of pressure and needless worry because of the legacy factor.
It makes sense to me, but on the other hand it doesn't.
