So yes, I'm considered a legacy.


Also From Kappa's Website:
"If the legacy is invited to the preference round, her name must be included on the bid list, above the quota break"


So yes, I should have been on the bid list.


Am I correct on these things or am I missing something? Any Kappas out there that could help?

I couldn't find the legacy quote on the public pages of the Kappa Kappa Gamma website. Is it in the members only section?

The issue that I can spot is the quota range. If you were ranked below the lower end of the range, would you ask the chapter to remove another woman who'd been issued a bid and was ranked higher than you, in order that you as a legacy receive a bid? This could get really sticky and tricky.

Did you accept a bid from the other chapter you preferenced?

I found those quotes from the membership reference form on their website. Here's a link to it if you'd like: https://www.kappakappagamma.org/kappa/reference/

I'm not sure about this quota range, but I think according to their legacy policy I still should have been placed at the top and gotten a bid. What do you/others think? And yes, I was unfortunately given a bid to another chapter.

I sincerely hope that you did not accept your bid to the chapter that offered it to you. If you did, I hope that you will terminate your pledge immediately. I really am not being snarky. I think it will be for the best all around.
