I was cut from my legacy early, and I am sure that many other women have had a similar experience. Just go in open minded, be yourself and quit over analyzing. Good luck!
There is a difference between legacy and in-house legacy (for my organization, at least). Speaking from my experience, in-house legacy has more clout than regular legacy.

are you sure that it is your organization, or could it be your chapter? No matter what, it is in a pnms best interest to not assume her legacy status, be it "regular" or in-house will be an easy in.

Fairly certain it is organization-wide. We only guarantee regular legacies a certain number of parties (not many!), but in-house (meaning that you have an active sister -not alum- in the chapter at the time that you come through rush) get a bit more preference, although they are not guaranteed bids.

You rushed 10 years ago, and what's more, you are no longer an official member. So I'd be very careful about saying what an org's or chapter's membership policies are - even if they were that when you were in school.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
