A disconnect with legacies?

I could give a shit how many Chi Omega legacies go through rush at Ole Miss.

Thought I would add in Alpha Gamma Delta's Leacy Policy (seeing as I just noticed this thread today!)

(From the Legacy Introduction Form):

"Alpha Gamma Delta recognizes that legacies are important to our Fraternity because they bring loyalty, strength, pride, and support to our chapters.

A legacy is a daughter, sister, grand-daughter, or step-daughter of an Alpha Gamma Delta who is an initiated member in Good Standing with the Fraternity.

It is the responsibility of the legacy's AGD relatives and friends to notify a chapter that she will be participating in recruitment by completing a RIF and LIF.

Collegiate chapters are not required to offer a bid to a legacy.

An AGD legacy should be a qualified recruitment guest in her own right--grades, activities, accomplishments, and overall compatibility with the chapter.

The Fraternity expects all collegiate chapters to give serious consideration to each legacy out of courtesy to the AGD member to whom she is related.

A legacy must be invited to at least one invitational round of the chapter's recruitment functions.

If a chapter releases a legacy, an advisor for the chapter must contact the AGD relative of the legacy to inform her of the legacy's release from membership consideration. All efforts must be taken to contact the relative prior to the distribution of invitations to the next round of recruitment events.

If a chapter invites a legacy to Preference, the legacy must be placed on the chapter's first bid list.

AGD members must have realistic expectations for our legacies. We must remember that some legacies are happier in another Greek group. All NPC groups have similar goals and ideals.

Legacies--Our special link between Alpha Gamma Delta's past and future."

I really like that they have a part specifically stating that some legacies are happier in other NPC groups!

Step-daughters but not step-sisters? Huh, that seems odd.

My guess is that if it is step-sisters who grew up together, it would count, but if they grew up separately it wouldn't? It does seem kind of odd though!
