W ith Mizzou's formal recruitment approaching (Sunday, August 13, 2017, through Sunday, August 20, 2017), it's a good time to review Alpha Phi's Legacy Policy as well as how to submit recruitment recommendations. ALAPHA PHI'S LEGACY POLICY A. Definition A legacy is any granddaughter, great-granddaughter, daughter, stepdaughter, sister, or stepsister of an initiated Alpha Phi member. B. Invitation All legacies will receive an invitation to the first invitational round of recruitment on campuses with more than one invitational event. C. Preference Any Alpha Phi legacy that accepts Alpha Phi's invitation to a preference party must be placed on the chapter's first bid list. D. Releasing a Legacy A chapter must have the approval of the Chapter Advisor or her designee to release a legacy. CHAPTER AND ALUMNAE RESPONSIBILITIES Alumnae recommending legacies or potential new members have the following responsibilities: • Fill out the Recommendation Form to the best of her ability providing as much information as possible for the potential new member that is requested on the form. • Send the chapter the Recommendation Form well in advance of the chapter's recruitment (dates are listed in the Summer Quarterly edition which can be found in the Members Only section). • Support the potential new member throughout the recruitment process. • While some potential new members may report their Legacy status to the Panhellenic council, it is ultimately up to the alumna member to notify the chapter of a Legacy—not the potential new member or the Panhellenic council. • Chapters receiving Recommendation Forms have the primary responsibility to follow the Legacy Policy as stated above. All chapters are continuously educated on Alpha Phi's Legacy Policy and the value of Legacies. CONTACT WITH THE CHAPTER We encourage all chapters to notify alumnae when they receive recommendation forms. However, when forms arrive at the chapter right before or during recruitment, the chapter may not have enough time to notify alumnae. Alumnae will not receive any information about the status of any potential new member or information on the membership selection process. All membership selection decisions are strictly confidential at the chapter level and will not be shared with alumnae. RECOMMENDING A LEGACY OR POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER Any alumnae of Alpha Phi may recommend a potential new member for an Alpha Phi chapter.
