<p>Just wondering:
does legacy count across different universities?</p>
<p>yes, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to get a bid</p>
<p>Legacies are taken into consideration, but doesn’t in any way guarantee a bid. At some schools and in some organizations they are taken more seriously than others. It really depends where you go and what organization you are interested in.</p>
<p>some organizations do require that legacies receive bids, however I don’t think any require that legacies be initiated. The reason I say this is that if you find out that the group you’re a legacy of must bid legacies, don’t walk in there acting like you own the place. The members will not form a great opinion of you, and will start looking for ways to force you out without violating the rules the national office has made.</p>
