legacy status -- unique to Beta Sigma Phi?

[aephi alum]

That's such a sweet idea, and an interesting way to encourage girls to consider membership in Beta Sigma Phi when they become adults.

I'm not aware of any NPC sorority that does anything similar. AEPhi doesn't have any sort of legacy ritual, jewelry, or programming. But if I had a daughter, her first toy would probably be a stuffed giraffe.

AGD started a cool Rosebud Program a few years ago.

The goals of the program are:

to foster strong adult-girl relationships;
to provide fun activities in which adults and girls can participate;
to provide ways for members to remain involved in Alpha Gam during the busy child rearing years;
to increase the visibility of Alpha Gamma Delta in the community;
to introduce girls and young women to the sisterhood of our Fraternity.

(And yes, moms can bring their sons, too!)

Alpha Phi has the Little Dipper program:

"Children who grow up around Alpha Phi learn about her unique sisterhood from an early age - now is the time to introduce your little dipper to the Alpha Phi tradition!"

Delta Gamma has an AnchorGirl Program. But there is no jewelry, ritual, or programs associated with it that I know of.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing!

If a Beta Sigma Phi Legacy decides to become a sister after she turns 18, she doesn't have to pay her initial pledge fee because it was already paid for her when she was enrolled as a Legacy. The program is definitely a nice way to potentially transition into the sorority.
