I was thinking the same thing--make her the descendant of a legacy and people may be SO excited, they don't even think about whether its true.
My maiden name is Locke....I always wondered if I am related to Theta founder Betty Locke Hamilton, making me a Theta legacy. (I am pretty sure I am not!) But would anyone question?? (I hope so!)

Haha- even if you weren't a descendant of Bettie Locke, I would be so excited that you had the same name (during recruitment) that I would be practically star struck anyway.

slight hi-jack: in the Random Spurts thread on DST ave, we were JUST talking about "[insert founder's name] is my homeboy/girl" shirts.
(we were referring to this shirt, made for Nupes.)

Actually, the Chi Omega daughter of my mother-in-law's (younger) Chi Omega buddy from the 70s onward is still in touch with us . . .so now that I think about it, that one is covered!

Kappa Beta Chapter of Chi Omega is at Rhodes College (formerly Southwestern). A wonderful chapter.
Just FYI, the official Chi Omega legacy policy does not include grandmothers.

Is this a recent policy change or has it always been this way? If that's TMI to give, just say so - it made me think of a thread I wanted to start and I don't want to hijack this one.

No, it's always been this way and I have stated it before on numerous threads.

Someone else in Chi Omega told me differently on here, so this is good to know. My husband's mother died when he was four, and it would be hard to prove, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore (besides, I only have a son!).

I think that this would def. be a realistic idea for a book. I could imagine if there was a girl on campus who had a founders last name we probably would have been all over that encouraging her to join...it be cute in the book if the girl did not want to join and the sorority was persuing her to join and the girl was doing everything to get away from them and then in the end of course she loves the sorority.
