Delta Gamma Eliminates Legacy Policy

[Titchou]

Shirley: And this will be my only comment here - ostensibly because they will be educated prior to recruitment on the change and so will expect to be treated like any other PNM...which is the stated point of the change. Personally I think we did ourselves no favors when we added step sisters/mothers/grandmothers. So I would like to have seen just sisters and daughters be considered legacies...which would be pretty easy to understand and explain. The "steps" were too overreaching. IMHO

I remember worrying about that when my group added 'steps'.

I would buy this if DG said "Ok, it's currently June 2020, and for Fall Recruitment 2021 we are implementing this change." But to make it within 2 months of when the vast majority of schools do recruitment, I think many of the chapters and the PNM's will not be fully educated here and the setting up for disappointment will be huge. This rush to implementation makes it seem ickier than it can/should be.

I totally get the concern with adding all the steps.
