AOII Eliminates Legacy Policy

-Chapters will not be required to invite legacies back to the first invitational round of primary recruitment.

-Legacies who accept an invitation to the final preference party, like all PNMs who attend our preference party, must be placed on the chapter’s final bid list per the NPC Policy. This means that legacies do not have to be placed at the top of the bid list.

-If a legacy is released, the Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC) should contact the AOII relative via telephone or email as a courtesy to inform the AOII relative of the legacy’s release.

LEGACIES still exist, with a CHANGED definition, now in AOII. AOII didn't eliminate legacies, AOII only eliminated special treatment of legacies. When a daughter is born to an AOII, said daughter is still defined as an AOII LEGACY.

AFAIK AOII has NEVER defined legacies as young women who shall be offered an AOII bid no matter what. A legacy who shall be offered a bid automatically, as in Iota_JWH quote above, appears to me to be MORE than a legacy; she's an automatic sister with the absolute right to wear the initiation pin of her mother from her date of birth.
