How Moms Should Treat Their Legacy Daughters

[gee_ess]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that all legacies go on Bid List at #1. There is no way that a legacy can be higher at the nonleg house and not get the bid if she prefs the legacy house.

Now, if she puts the other house #1, and she is on their 1st bid list, she can get the nonleg bid that way.

And, of course, she can always list nonleg house #1, be on their second list and get her legacy house after all.

I don't know if that's necessarily true for ALL groups. My chapter pledged a double legacy who preffed at her legacy chapter and put them first on her bid list. True story.

I have a hard time following the legacy/pref logic, so let me see if i understand this:

if a legacy PNM makes it through to pref, her legacy chapter HAS to put her on their bid list, like an automatic "you're in on our end, you just have to accept." regardless of where the PNM may rank her legacy chapter on her bid card. however, if the legacy PNM lists her legacy chapter 2nd (or 3rd...nth), that chapter has to wait until she *potentially* declines whichever house(s) she put before them.

if that's true (and im not sure if how i repeated it is correct), then AOII Angel is saying the double legacy put her legacy chapter first, declined the bid and went AOII, which would kinda be a slap in the face to the legacy chapter (and her relatives?)

or... you can just direct me to the "here's how legacies work in NPC" thread.

Let me try to summarize: The claim is that legacies must be on the first bidlist for all groups. AOII Angel is suggesting that that claim is false because of a situation for a legacy for another group listed her legacy chapter as number one and AOII as number two and received a bid to AOII.

This suggests that although legacies are somewhere on the bidlist, they may not necessarily be on the first bidlist for all NPC chapters.

And we'd need to do a survey to find out for sure.

And bidlists look like this:

If quota is 5:

1. Ann
2. Betty
3. Cindy
4. Daria
5. Erica

6. Samantha
7. Jenny
8. Rachel
9. Pippy
10. Kathy.
etc.

If everyone on the first list wants them, they fill quota from the first list only. If Ann turns down her bid, they go to Samantha and so on.

Exactly Drolefille. This member put XYZ first, but she was not on the top of XYZs bidlist despite being a double legacy. They filled their quota before coming to her name on their bidlist, thus she was given a bid to her number 2 group, AOII. She was devestated thinking she had let down her two sisters who had redecorated her room at home in XYZ colors, BTW. She ended up becoming a great AOII, and things worked out just fine.

As for tld's suggestion, if XYZ had given her a bid, she would not have been able to decline it and then accept a bid to AOII. That is against NPC rules.

If she were an ASA legacy, this would not be an issue.

We've discussed it before but I think that there's at least 1 group, Tri Delt, who says on their website that coming to prefs does not guarantee a legacy a bid.

I think that would depend on the individual group.
