I haven't heard of that policy with any other group.

Since Alpha Delta Pi actually has 9- and 10-generation legacies, we're all about the historical value. That's the best response I can give. Maybe another GLO has something similar?
When I was in school, a 5-generation legacy rushed us. She made it abundantly clear from Open Houses on that she did NOT want to go greek, that her family was forcing her to rush. By the second round, I had to make the call to our DTD and tell them she didn't want to rush, and she in turn called our EO. No go. The next round, it was obvious that not only did she not want to rush, she didn't want us - and frankly, we didn't like her. Long story short, we pledged her, she came to about half of the pledge meetings, got initiated at Convention, and transferred to a school without a chapter of ADPi. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, if she ever had a daughter, she did
not pressure her to go ADPi! The better news is that she had a
fantastic roomie, who pledged with her and fit in from Bid Day on!
Having said that, I do know of another legacy who was completely obnoxious - her mother, two aunts, and two cousins are all ADPis - but the chapter was luckier with her. A Traveling Counsultant AND the DTD were there during Recruitment, met her, and they made sure that she
stayed cut!
