Chapter Legacy Policies

Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Chi Omega does not provide preferential treatment to legacies or any other potential new members in the recruitment process

Alpha Delta Pi

Alpha Delta Pi’s legacy policy is as follows:
A legacy is a sister, daughter, granddaughter, or great-granddaughter of an initiated member of Alpha Delta Pi. Legacy designation is inclusive of step-relatives and blended families.

Chi Omega

A sister or a daughter of a Chi Omega in good standing. Granddaughters, cousins, and nieces of Chi Omegas have close ties but are not legacies to Chi Omega. Someone whose sister and mother are initiated Chi Omegas in good standing may be referred to as a double legacy. *The Governing Council asks for courteous attention and respect to be extended to a Potential New Member with Chi Omega relatives. A chapter must invite a legacy to at least one formal recruitment event unless there is only one invitational event, or invitational numbers do not allow due to restrictive numbers governed by Panhellenic invitation.

Delta Delta Delta

Delta Delta Delta does not have a legacy policy.

Delta Gamma

Delta Gamma updated its national policy in June 2020 to eliminate preferential treatment for legacies (daughters, granddaughters, sisters, or step-relations) during recruitment. Legacies are still acknowledged, but they are not guaranteed invitations, bid list placement, or special status, aiming to create a more inclusive and equitable recruitment process

Gamma Phi Beta

Legacies are automatically invited back to Philanthropy round if they meet our grade requirement of 3.4 GPA. After Philanthropy round, it is based off PNMS scores only to determine if they will be invited back to Sisterhood round.

Kappa Alpha Theta

A Kappa Alpha Theta legacy is defined as a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, or sister or the same step-relation of a Kappa Alpha Theta member. Being designated a Kappa Alpha Theta legacy does not guarantee membership in Kappa Alpha Theta, nor do legacies receive preferential treatment during recruitment.

Kappa Delta

A legacy is any woman who is the daughter, granddaughter or sister of an initiated Kappa Delta member in good standing – including half and step-relatives! It is important to note that being a KD legacy does not guarantee an invitation or membership.

Kappa Kappa Gamma

 Kappa Kappa Gamma does not have a legacy policy.

Pi Beta Phi

Please note that following the legislative vote outcome of Convention 2021, Pi Phi chapters no longer provide special considerations to legacies in the recruitment process and no courtesy invitations are offered to legacies.
