Legacy, crazy grandmother, advice please!!!

I cannot speak for Delta Delta Delta, of course. HOWEVER - from my perspective I would hesitate to say that Tri Delta is less enthusiastic about their legacies than other sororities. Many sororities are dealing with the (wonderful) dilemma of having TONS of legacies going through recruitment. Back in the day you didn't have that many legacies, you had far fewer potential new members, and it was possible to bid every qualified legacy. I would be very surprised if my NPC cousins did not give legacies every consideration.

Along this same line of thinking, has DDD never considered granddaughters to be legacies? I guess I assumed that granddaughters were considered legacies at all NPC sororities. Maybe they're so overwhelmed with daughters and sisters, they had to draw a line? Seriously. When I went through recruitment, the bid lists showed an asterisk by each new member who was a legacy to the chapter she joined. DDD was one of 3 sororities on campus that only had a handful of new members who were not legacies.

I don't know if they never have. My mom just said they don't. I thought it was weird too because my sister's sorority considers great-granddaughters to be legacies. And some even consider Aunts. My sister was saying that her particular sorority has very strict rules about legacies and depending on the situation sometimes they are even forced (idk what she meant by this she tends to over exaggerate) to give some PNMs bids, if they meet grade requirements. She didn't tell me specifics as she wasn't allowed, so I don't know what the requirements are to be guaranteed a bid (maybe great-great-grandma was a founder or something). But anyways she stated that some chapters weren't like that at all and may not even give bids to the quintuple, 5th generation, in-house, legacy.
