"Legacy 1" and "Legacy 2" ...and they were added on to the end of the line. ahhahahahahahah BRUTAL fuckED UP. Legacy needs to be redefined and looked at with more respect. If someone goes before you and paves a way for you to be included, why would that be used to exclude you? We say we respect our founders who probably have some offspring somewhere around this country. Are we to treat them badly because of their relationship to our founders? In my career as a teacher, I met many kids who were brothers sisters, sons daughters of my previous students. I might have known some family history, but never used it against the kid unless he was just a pain in my a$$. To find out that a kid was a product of some previous students was no reason to premeditate on how I was going to treat him. "Oh here comes so n so, he's the son of Romeo. He won't stand a chance. I'm going to humiliate him every chance I get. WRONG!!!! He deserves the benefit of the doubt until he proves himself otherwise. We should welcome legacy and be glad that they wish to follow in the families' footsteps. I think it's jealousy which is an ugly trait and needs to be eradicated from our vocabulary. Okay, I'm done. |

The issue with legacy is not their legacy...its their thought that its their "birth right" and that they are entitled to preferential treatment. Miss me with that one. Just because Im (insert profession here) doesnt mean my kids automatically get to skate in on my coattails. Nah. My sister would be legacy and her behind better do and get treated like everyone else.

The reason why is from my understanding, at some HBCU's, say like Howard, whole lines are majority Legacy. How can u respect someone who get in on not their own merit but just from relation? |

There are some who take that who legacy ordeal and do it no TYPE of justice!
They feel that they have the RIGHT to be in that org, because of their family. That cockiness isn't cool. Pretty much they are saying, I get to get in no matter what because of (insert family member here) and I BETTER get in cuz I AM A LEGACY!
They lose all respect from me.

I totally disagree with your assessment. The people I know who are legacy would die first than let it be known that they are indeed legacy. Also, if you guys don't want to know if they are legacy, take the box off the app. Don't ask the question if you can't stand the answer.l |

I came through with a LEGACY FROM HELL!!!!
OMG - she thought she KNEW EVERYTHING. She was arrogant - annoying and obnoxious.
Her sense of entitlement was a foreigner to humility.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND....one of my Prophytes is a 4th Generation AKA.
Her great grandmother is STILL alive and she is 103 - she's OLDER than AKA!!!
Yet, this young women is refined - polished - HUMBLE and appreciative of the path laid before her.
She doesn't look down on other Sorors - she doesn't feel as if she has any more stake in AKA than any other Soror.
So, I've seen the good and the bad of Legacies. They BOTH exists.
My daughter is 8 - she LOVES all things AKA. I am proud to be the first in my family to attend a UC AND become a member of a BGLO.
She will understand that - b/c of me - she is NOT entitled to anything, in fact...my path should give her a greater appreciation for her OWN journey.

You have seen both sides. I'm just saying that legacy needs a fighting chance. You are going to do all you can to make sure your daughter is not disrespected if she chooses to pursue AKA even if she has the feeling of entitlement. Growing up in the environment gives you an air of confidence, not cockiness. The cockiness should be dealt with as it rears its ugly head, not expected. |

The thing about Greekdom is - folks don't want anyone having it easier than them.
Those that had to work hard...
Keeping their GPA up
Doing community service
Attending events
Learning about the Org
Going through a process
...are HIGLHY insulted by a person who gets in "automatically" by pulling the Legacy card.
ESPECIALLY when the Legacy is the farthest thing from humble.
As I understand it - Legacy is a factor because; if Soror XYZ has a daughter, then Soror XYZ - being a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. - will have raised her daughter in such a way that would make her befitting for AKA.
Hopefully, Soror XYZs daughter has been exposed to all of what Sorority life and sisterhood entails. Perhaps, Sorors of AKA have had a positive influence on Soror XYZs daughter.
And lastly, Soror XYZ has contributed many days and nights to AKA - and REAL Sorors know that our families DO sacrifice for us to do what we do for our Sororities!!!
Given all this - would being a legacy make a difference, I believe it does - even if it's subtle.
Should a person have to denounce their parents/guardians accomplishments to impress upon others...I think not.
In fact, in my experience - Legacies get MAD repsect for being generational - it's just the application priveledge that rubs folks the wrong way.
Sort of like Affirmative Action. :-\

Hell, you can't pick your family....Who says they don't want to get in on their own merit? I think that's just misguided insecurities. I have the legacy of Founders and Charter members in my chapter so legacy is not the issue....Im not sure who you've dealt with that were legacy and had issues but the only issue arises with the sense of entitlement. Its very easy to know the ones that want to get in on their own merit and those who dont. The problem is only with the ones who dont....and will make it clear that they wont and they will STILL get in (and they usually do). What members had to deal with 30 years ago, heck even 10 years ago, is very different from what chapters have to go through now. I think that is where the great divide b/n the generations lie....old school members think they know what its like to be a new school member and new school members want to come in like the old way. Both groups are sadly mistaken b/c neither are realistic vantage points. |

Nah, I wouldnt fight tooth and nail for my daughter or any other family member interested in DST. THERE IN LIES THE PROBLEM! Mamas and aunties and grannies need to stay in their lanes. I will provide my daughter with the TOOLS she needs to get in and then it is up to her to do what she needs to do to get in. And if she faces some adversity...good...so did I. And I will prepare her, like in every other area of life, how to deal with it and how to deal with disappointment if she doesnt make it. Just like if she were interested in AKA, ZPB or SGRho. Life is full of disappointments and mommy will not, and should not, be there to allow you to skate through life. Parents like that make me sick. I see pursuing an org and pledging as a lifetime lesson. But thats just me. |

<----has a friend whose mother called Regional Directors/Nationals twice (two different regions) to inquire as to why her daughter didn't make line <----was surprised that her friend shared this info with her Nothing new. And the fact that she told you that says ALOT about how these girls type think. They think that is cool and okay to do. I know a chapter who had to fight tooth and nail bc this chick's mom had the pres of her grad chapter write her recommendation. The very grad chapter who "mentors" the chapter. The girl went to NO programs and is mediocre ALL around. She didnt turn an app in. The RD made the chapter re-open the app deadline so she could get hers in and then reconsider more people TWICE just to make sure she got in. Well, they reconsidered twice and took two additional girls and not her....we'll see if this line even finishes b/c the girl and her mom are throwing a fit. SMH Thats the mess Im talking about. THEY DONT WANT YOU! And if she DOES get in, nobody will like her (they already dont)...why would you want to set your daughter up for failure like that? I love my sorority but I would love my daughter more and I wouldnt sacrifice her self-esteem, wellbeing, and peace of mind just so she can be in a sorority. That seems reckless to me. |
