The one before it. Someone put a screenshot on here a couple of years ago of the Tri Delt page that said that legacies at prefs don't have to be on the first bid list.

Interesting.

That's definitely a change from my college days.

But I've been out of the national level loop for quite a few years so that's possible.

You said the following:

I see nowhere that you qualify that to mean your group, or some groups, or anything else. I read it to mean "any group on a campus using ICS".

Now, I realize after further posts that I was arguing "it's not public for all groups" and you were arguing "it's not private for all groups", and obviously, both of those things are true at the same time, so mea culpa for mis-reading you.

All that said, I want to underscore this point, that I am sure we both agree on:

Even if a group publicly states that legacies are placed at the top of the bid list, no PNM should ever take that to mean that she is guaranteed a bid to her legacy group by attending that group's preference party.
