Phi Sigma Sigma discontinues legacy policy.

See, that's the thing. As a teacher of manymany years, I have known many other teachers who were totally clueless about some of the meanest bullies in school. These kids would act like Eddie Haskell around teachers (or certain teachers) and do horrible things to their "enemies". Once I caught 2 Eddies upending a cooler of KoolAid over the head of another girl in the hall--caught them redhanded!-- and the AP kept saying she went to church with them and they neeevvver would have done such a thing.

So many teachers get fooled because students know that later on, they'll need various recommendations.

Agree with you about the "Eddie Haskells" as they can appear as early as elementary school.



When my mother was asked to write recommendations for our high school by the local Panhellenic Alumnae, she came to her three kids to ask for real scoop on these PNMs. Honestly I believe my brother was the best source our of the three of us and she was able to write a rec with confidence. (I believe she only wrote one "non-rec.")

Wanted to respond in another recently closed thread, but will try here. NPC groups who recently changed their legacy policies better hope enough of their specially chosen new members make-up, in number and in active involvement, for those alumnae and non-chosen legacies who will no longer/never be working diligently and earnestly for their orgs. It's great to evolve, but some members will be skeptical of the speed and reasons for the change and whether the outcome will be fully positive.
