I think it depends on your chapter. I know that my organization has rules about inviting legacies back to a certain number of recruitment parties, but we can cut them...although my particular chapter has never cut a legacy. We have tried on more than one occasion, but the advisers basically say that unless we have "a damn good reason to ruin a family's perception of our organization" we're not allowed.
I personally think this rule sucks, because sometimes the legacies just don't fit in. Its not our fault or theirs.
*sorry for the hijack btw

We do not require chapters to take legacies. They are required to invite women to first invitational at least, if there is a legacy. The legacy should be able to meet all the sisters. Up until this past year, chapters had to contact their recruitment specialist in order to release a legacy and gain approval first. We have since modified this rule.

First, let's call all females WOMEN, not girls. That may help a bit. If she is your mom'a age, she is definitely not just a girl. |
By "a girl in my mom's sorority," I took her to mean a fellow student who is currently an active member of the sorority of which her mother is an alumna, especially since she had just mentioned "getting to know girls in the houses."

I did mean a woman who is my age (18). It is slightly weird to call a person who is my age and just out of high school a woman, but I will try to start using that term instead.

well, I guess that's good, because who's ever been a carbon copy of their mother?

Delta Phi Epsilon does not have to accept a legacy. There are rules about releasing legacies, but as stated in their Legacy Policy, which came in the Spring 2009 packet which every chapter should have got, it is ultimately up to the individual chapter.

ADPi allows a legacy to be cut. The biggest reason this policy was changed years ago was due to some campuses having a flood of legacies going through recruitment. Typically at Bama we have almost as many legacy PNMs go through as quota. How fair would it be to have an entire pledge class of only legacies?
It also used to be policy that if a legacy was cut mom, grandma, sis, etc. had to be called. That's changed too and personally I'm happy about it. I understand moms' frustration over this change, which has been in place for many years and is published in our Inat'l magazine every year. We simply don't have the time to make that many phone calls. Plus those calls were very unpleasant to say the least.

On our campus we use ICS and we can see all legacy info. for all chapters. This includes NPC groups that are listed by the PNM that do not have chapters on our campus. This year alone I think we had 5 KD, and 4 KKG legacies! It makes me wish they had a chance to join their legacy group.

another option would be to say "collegian" or "alumna"(alumnae if more than one member no longer in college). :-)
