Chi Omega is extremely sensitive to the legacy situation....we are obligated to give every special consideration to the legacies. This does not mean we are automatically obligated to extend them a bid, but we have very specific policies in place (I can't state exactly what that policy is here) regarding legacies/invites to further parties/bid list. I think it is pretty revolting that a chapter would actually be cocky enough to say that legacies "don't count" anymore; I can't think of any chapter that would say that on a national level. (Now that I have said this I sure hope it wasn't a Chi O chapter that did it!!!!!!) In our case, only a daughter or sister is a legacy, although a granddaughter/niece would be given due respect. Personally I think that any chapter which doesn't recognize the importance of, history related to and special bond created by encouraging family lines within a chapter really isn't seeing the forest for the trees.
