legacy policies

Legacy information from Gamma Phi Beta:

"A legacy is a (step) sister, (step) daughter, granddaughter or great granddaughter of a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Gamma Phi Beta chapters should pay special attention to legacies and get to know them well before a decision is made... Legacies should be actively recruited... Being a legacy does not guarantee a 'match'; the mutual selection process means the legacy- just like every potential new member- must find a group that appeals to her and vice-versa. We want a legacy to pledge Gamma Phi Beta as a result of a mutual attraction and then become a positive addition to the chapter through her added loyalty and inherent knowledge of the Sorority. It is important to remember that a legacy has a 'legacy maker' that is, a Gamma Phi Beta relative... She wants what is best for her legacy, and to her Gamma Phi Beta is the best. Not all legacies 'match' to Gamma Phi Beta for a variety of reasons; however, special care must be taken when dealing with legacies because of the respect owed to those sisters who are the 'legacy makers.' "
Also:
"Legacies should be extended an invitation to the first invitational [usually 2nd Round] of events. If a legacy is released, the chapter's regional coordinator, chapter advisor and recruitment advisor should be notified as soon as possible... Notification of relatives is left up to the discretion of the legacy if she is released. It's her responsibility to communicate with relatives about her recruitment status."
