Different groups have different legacy policies. It is my understanding that some groups have recently changed their legacy policies and no longer require phone calls to be made or legacies to be placed on the first bid list. For example, DDD's website says "In an effort to protect the privacy and feelings of a Tri Delta legacy, the Fraternity asks that no phone inquiries questioning the status of a legacy during recruitment be made to chapter members, advisers or alumnae. Likewise, the families should not expect to receive such calls. This policy leaves the legacy the right to say and do whatever she chooses about the invitations she does or does not receive."

As TechAPhi stated, in Alpha Phi we have special policies governing legacies and our Advisors and Regional Team members oversee the application of the policy along with our Executive Office. In Alpha Phi a legacy is any grandaughter, daughter, stepdaughter, sister or sister of an initiated Alpha Phi member. If a member has questions about the legacy policy they should contact the EO or their regional team.
