Alpha Xi Delta's is:
A legacy is the granddaughter, daughter or sister of an Alpha Xi Delta member. This includes half-sisters or step relations. Alpha Xi Delta college chapters are not required to pledge every legacy, but they are obligated to give each legacy special attention and careful consideration during recruitment.
A legacy may be released during recruitment only with the permission of the chapter's Area Facilitator. If the chapter has received a reference on a legacy, and that legacy is released, the mother, grandmother or sister is called and told of the decision.
An Alpha Xi Delta legacy should be a qualified potential member who meets Alpha Xi Delta's grade requirements, is compatible with chapter members, and is involved in campus/community activities.

I may be wrong, but it has been my understanding that Alpha Xi considers nieces to be legacies, too. I seem to recall that nieces were added in the relatively recent past, but IDK the exact date. See
http://www.alphaxidelta.org/index.ph...&category=Main
"Alpha Xi Delta's Legacy Policy: Is your daughter, granddaughter, sister or niece going through recruitment (this includes half-sisters and step relatives)? If so, then she is a legacy!"

Gamma Phi Beta
Legacy information from Gamma Phi Beta:
"A legacy is a (step) sister, (step) daughter, granddaughter or great granddaughter of a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Gamma Phi Beta chapters should pay special attention to legacies and get to know them well before a decision is made... Legacies should be actively recruited... Being a legacy does not guarantee a 'match'; the mutual selection process means the legacy- just like every potential new member- must find a group that appeals to her and vice-versa. We want a legacy to pledge Gamma Phi Beta as a result of a mutual attraction and then become a positive addition to the chapter through her added loyalty and inherent knowledge of the Sorority. It is important to remember that a legacy has a 'legacy maker' that is, a Gamma Phi Beta relative... She wants what is best for her legacy, and to her Gamma Phi Beta is the best. Not all legacies 'match' to Gamma Phi Beta for a variety of reasons; however, special care must be taken when dealing with legacies because of the respect owed to those sisters who are the 'legacy makers.' "
Also:
"Legacies should be extended an invitation to the first invitational [usually 2nd Round] of events. If a legacy is released, the chapter's regional coordinator, chapter advisor and recruitment advisor should be notified as soon as possible... Notification of relatives is left up to the discretion of the legacy if she is released. It's her responsibility to communicate with relatives about her recruitment status."

Tri Sigma = sister, daughter, granddaughter.
The official policy is similar to other NPCs that have posted here.

Keep in mind the original posting is quite old, and that policy does change.
With that in mind, as of right now, A Kappa Alpha Theta Legacy is as follows:
"A Theta legacy is defined as a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, or sister of a Kappa Alpha Theta. Stepdaughters, step granddaughters, step great-granddaughters, and stepsisters are considered legacies if their family considers them as such and if the family asks that they be considered as such on the legacy introduction form. These women deserve special consideration.
There is no such thing as an indirect legacy (i.e., cousin, niece, etc.), and such persons are not given special consideration. However, we recognize that they may have special knowledge of and interest in Kappa Alpha Theta and are warmly welcomed and recruited. "

I find it interesting that Phi Mu and Theta are the only ones I've seen that mention great-granddaughters. Is it just that a lot of organizations are too young to even have great-granddaughters going through yet? I wonder if more will include them as time goes on.
Also, I'm glad my organization includes step-relations. I hope all will move in that direction, too.

From the open part of Alpha Delta Pi's website:
"A legacy is a sister, daughter, or granddaughter of an initiated member of Alpha Delta Pi. We believe the initiation of these women strengthens family ties, giving the chapter increased support. ADPi members are welcome to introduce a potential member or legacy to a collegiate chapter using our Potential Member and Legacy Forms."
My little sister didn't fill these forms out for her daughters, but I have it on very good authority that several alumnae made sure that their status was known!
While great-granddaughters aren't mentioned, a tie to any Adelphean, Alpha Delta Phi, or Alpha Delta Pi prior to say, 1950, is going to be considered a legacy - especially an Adelphean!

From Kappa's FAQ for PNM's:
What is a legacy? And what does that mean during Recruitment?
A legacy is the sister, daughter or granddaughter of an initiated Kappa. While we give careful consideration to legacies given their knowledge of and exposure to Kappa, there are often more legacies enrolled in Recruitment than quota space allows.

Thanks, everyone. I was wondering if Chi O legacies are guaranteed first placement on the bid list if they pref. I haven't been able to find that info.
Ah. Here:

Hmmm... I always thought DG was excluding great-granddaughters because our reasoning is similar to what Kappamd posted for Kappa, that exposure to DG growing up is what makes a legacy a unique contributor. Therefore, it is unlikely that a great-grandmother could give a lifetime of exposure to DG to her great-granddaughter unless she is alive and active to a very old age or all generations had children early.
I wish DG included great-granddaughters in the legacy definition -- I just like the tie to the past and tradition!

I also don't understand how a legacy could be guaranteed placement on the first bid list. Does that mean a chapter can't invite too many legacies to pref?
Phi Mu openly states that they are given preference in making the final bid list, but says nothing about guarantees (which matches my experience in preparing bid lists).

Yeah, that's exactly what it means. We never had a problem with it since we never had more than 5 legacies go through, but we definitely thought more about the legacies in MS since we knew we HAD to cut them before pref or not at all.

At Kansas State U (of all places) Panhellenic's Fall 2011 Recruitment booklet has a nifty summary of the legacy relationships for each of the twelve chapters there. Sorry, it doesn't go into the notification question or getting permission to release a legacy.
Now if we only had a similar list for the remaining fourteen. . . . .
Anyway, FWIW:
http://www.k-state.edu/greek/documen...itment_002.pdf
“Below is what each chapter considers a legacy:
Alpha Chi Omega: sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother
Alpha Delta Pi: sister, mother, grandmother
Alpha Xi Delta: sister, mother, grandmother, aunts, step-relatives
Chi Omega: sister, mother
Delta Delta Delta: sister, mother, step-sister, step-mother
Gamma Phi Beta: sister, mother, grandmother, step-sister, step-mother
Kappa Alpha Theta: sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother
Kappa Delta: sister, mother, grandmother, step-sister, step-mother, half-relatives
Kappa Kappa Gamma: sister, mother, grandmother
Pi Beta Phi: sister, mother, grandmother
Sigma Kappa: sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, step-relatives
Zeta Tau Alpha: sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunts, step-relatives “

Theta Phi Alpha is "sister, daughter, stepdaughter, granddaughter, or great-granddaughter."
