I have a daughter in HS who wants to go to my almamater. It is well known from friends currently in sororities at this school, as well as friends in local alumna organizations, that houses at this school actively drop legacies during the first video round - before they even get a chance to meet anyone in person. The alumna of these houses are very upset, but it seems to be a trend. Due of this, my daughter will not be divulging her legacy status on her registration form, nor will she talk about being a legacy to anyone. Makes me so sad as a mother (and alumna) to see this, but I'm glad I know about it now before she (and I) experience some of the things many posters on this thread have experienced.

My heart breaks for legacies who are penalized by their own GLO's chapter or others for being legacies. IMO, if the goal is to recruit women who will be active for life and not just a few years, GLOs are doing themselves a disservice by cutting legacies, especially when their moms are active alums of their sorority. These young women have grown up observing and understanding that the deep bonds of friendship, loyalty, service, and philanthropy made in a sorority extend beyond college. I think that's worth giving them extra consideration.

Huh I've never heard of legacies getting auto cut super early like that. I have only heard of that in terms of grade risk, etc. But hearing that something that could give you a second chance. (ex. you get invited back to at least 1 party, and if the legacy can get a bit more a feel for the chapter or the chapter isn't crazy about her, then they can make that decision) really stinks.
