Poaching Legacies

[KSUViolet06]

I wouldn't say we go out of our way to "steal" legacies from each other, It's sort of a friendly competition sort of thing. I'll admit I get excited when I hear that another chapter's legacy is coming back for the next round (especially if the girl is an in-house legacy)

Some chapters take it more seriously than others.

During 2005 recruitment, there was an in-house legacy going through (her older sister was a current active member of XYZ). Everybody in that sorority was so sure that this PNM was going to go XYZ that they hadn't even bothered following silence rules with her during rush. Well imagine their shock when they got their lists for 3rd party and saw that she wasn't on it. Yes, she had DROPPED her own sister's sorority. What made them even more mad was that she was returning to us. An XYZ active had the nerve to IM one of our girls and ask us to CUT her. She forwarded the IM to a PHC and they got a HUGE infraction. It turns out that the plan was for them to secretly ask every chapter she went to to drop her before Pref, so she could end up returning to them only (via Drop with Regret). I'm not even sure how they figured that we would agree to cut this girl OR how they thought this whole 'plot' was going to work, but it didn't.
