See? Exactly! The point is, ALL cookies are delicious and wonderful and valuable. There's room in the cookie jar for all of us!

We had a legacy come through one year named Ginger Snapp. (I promise I'm not making that up.) We pledged her.

We had a PNM one year named Pepper White. Middle name...
Wareagle.
Yes, her parents met at Auburn, and she came to UGA. As did her sister.
Whitney Tiger White.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Also, I would like a recipe for the severed finger cookies.

BraveMaroon, I swear to you that when she was born, I saw that name in the Auburn Alum Magazine and asked my husband why on earth anyone would name their kid Pepper WarEagle!!!!
I wonder where she pledged?
MC, you are a sick man.

In our chapter house had a composite from the 1970's that we did not put in storage because there was a girl on it whose name was Mary Christmas. I would have held a life long grudge against my parents if they had done that me...image the first day of school the teacher calls Mary Christmas and all the kids snicker.

Re legacy policies, I almost think a better idea would be to have each chapter adopt how far out they want to go. For example...XYZ at Ole Miss could probably fill 2 pledge classes worth with legacies - they might want to say a legacy is only mom or sister, period. But XYZ at Drexel probably isn't going to have that amount of legacies coming through, so they might want to say granddaughters/nieces are legacies too.
The problems with that, of course, are 1) uninformed sisters 2) pledging someplace where you are a legacy and trying to transfer someplace where you're not. There doesn't seem to be a good way to resolve it.

Thank you for the informative replies and hilarious cookie analogies!
I thought we included legacy information on rush applications simply to let the sororities know we were familiar with the requirements and responsibilities that go along with membership in a GLO. That's why I was horrified to read that some groups could possibly assume that means the PNM is only interested in belonging to the same sorority, so would release her just because she is an XYZ legacy.
My daughter knows she will be truly fortunate to be accepted into any of the amazing sororities at Auburn and is certainly intending to maximize her possibilities. I hope she conveys this by her positive attitude, since we can't go back in time and note on her application that she is open to all of the groups (which, LtCol, is a great idea)!
And of course I know we do not know/cannot divulge membership selection info -- I guess I just wanted to know if you all thought the groups "traditionally" release legacies of all other sororities. In hindsight, I realize that was an irrational and kind of dumb thing to think. How could we poach legacies if that was the case??!! (JK) I can only plead that I was having a bit of a nervous breakdown last night when I read this thread.
Honestly, the next three days are going to be longest of my life!
