Is it a faux pas to mention legacies during rush?

[DubaiSis]

They should be advised prior to rush through a legacy form. If your Mom is deceased (did we learn that on an earlier thread?), then hopefully one of her sisters/friends can submit something on her behalf. It would be fine to mention it during rush, but don't dwell on it. Definitely do NOT talk about it with other chapters; it can be just the reason they need to cut you. And do understand that being a legacy is not an automatic in. By a long shot. In most cases I've ever heard (but each sorority functions under their own rules so it can vary), you will get invited back to round 2 and if you make it to preference, they have to put you on their first bid list. But that doesn't mean they can't/won't cut you after round 2 or 3. Legacy status is just one piece of a very big puzzle.
