AZTheta, I was not a legacy, and having no kids, I don't have a legacy. The rub here for me is that people are acting as if eliminating a legacy policy changes the landscape of inclusion. It doesn't, outside of maybe 10% of schools, which is an arbitrary number that I'm guesstimating have this huge field of legacies going through recruitment. I don't have concrete evidence of that number, sorry.

Being a member of a Greek organization is exclusive. Despite what we all believe, we exclude people for any number of reasons. And it might not even be US excluding them, but it could be economics, grades, "fit" or whatever, but it excludes women from joining. Unless we change the way we extend membership, we will always be exclusive.

NYCMS, I agree to disagree, but it doesn't mean I'm going to stop saying I think it's all a PR stunt by sororities to remain relevant during this time in our histories. The whole thing feels disingenuous to me.
