If it was a chapter of AEPhi where they already had over quota of actual legacies going through recruitment, and over quota or actual legacies to that particular chapter going through recruitment, I doubt that chapter would.

And that's why I said almost ...

And, to answer whether it's only the maternal side of the family.. no. If the paternal grandmother is an AGD, you are still a legacy. We count steps too.

Thanks for this info as well. So my niece may be a legacy for her aunt's (her Dad's sister) who is the same GLO as our Mother. (Our niece's paternal grandmother) I'll be sure to have her check on that as well.

However, I suspect that most chapters would give a niece of a member almost the same consideration as they would give a legacy - not out of obligation but out of courtesy. I know mine would.

This has been the case in my chapter a few times. We've had girls whose aunts were members of our chapter, sometimes as early as 15 years ago, so of course, we gave them special consideration, and considered them a legacy. Some groups may have rules like, if your chapter is under campus total you have to consider all connections to your group a legacy. I don't remember where I heard that, but anyway......it also never hurts to mention male family members' affiliation. If XYZ fraternity and ABC sorority are big buds on campus and you want in ABC, it never ever hurts that your daddy or brother was an XYZ. Anywho, my $.02 for the day.
