Disappointing recruitment--why wasn't I chosen?

I have five stepsiblings, and both of my parents are remarried. I have lived with and am close to some of my stepsiblings, and not lived with and am not close to some of them. I am close to one step-parent and not to the other. Just as I didn't use "legacy status" with my step-parents when applying to colleges, I wouldn't use it for sororities with any of my stepfamily. That is my personal situation, and perhaps I didn't speak properly in my previous post.

What I said isn't meant to invalidate others' relationships/legacy status with their stepfamilies. And no, I absolutely would not think that of adopted children! That was pretty thoughtless of you yourself VandalSquirrel...ever think that the person you're attacking could be adopted?
