This is gonna sound silly probably...... but are Jack and Jill daughters given some sort of legacy consideration? How about wives of Jack and Jill sons?

I think it depends on the chapter! Although I was a Jack and Jill kid in the Lou, I was denied admittance into The Minneapolis chapter, because I was a single Mom! And the national president of J&J had been my nursery school teacher and a good friend of my Mom's. They were livid, but I basically told them if that is how this chapter thinks, I don't want to be in it anyway and have my child face any ridicule!

Now my child is a MBA and senior marketing manager for a large consumer products company and some of those kids are.... let's just say their modicum of success is rather lower. Not to mention the number of mothers who are now divorced. - LOL

ETA: Summerchild I posted this before I read your post. Amen!

The invitation process:

The kids are divided into age groups. Each chapter sets a limit for the number of kids in a group. When a vacancy occurs, i.e. the child moves to the next group, or the family moves, then mothers are nominated that have a child in that age group. If the mother who is accepted has other children then they are also accepted in the other age groups, vacancy or not. Sorta like add-ons.

I was an add-on, because my mother was invited because of my younger sister. So I had to fit in with a group that had been together for many years. If any of you are from the Lou, suffice it to say that Michael Roberts was in my group, or rather I was in his. His younger brother was in my sister's group.
