<p>My aunt was in pi beta phi at ucla in the 80's. Is that like an automatic in? Or does it not help at all?</p>
<p>I’m guessing, if they’re like, hey, look, his aunt came here, let’s let him in, have fun</p>
<p>they let you in. i.e., if the admissions into the sorority are easy</p>
<p>if it’s kinda hard to get in, then I kinda doubt it</p>
<p>private colleges do legacies usually for the money (among other reasons), but I don’t really see how sororities get private funding</p>
<p>What? That was really hard to understand…</p>
<p>Your best bet is to talk to the sorority yourself and just mention your aunt.</p>
<p>Don’t assume you will automatically be accepted because you will be a legacy.</p>
<p>You still have to watch your actions. If members find you obnoxious, rude, etc. your chances of receiving a bid will become lower. For the most part, it should be helpful though. They’ll keep an eye on you, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending how you carry yourself. Anyway, she will have to write you a letter of recommendation or something. And… be sure to choose the sorority that is FOR YOU. Just because your aunt had a great time in Pi Beta Phi at UCLA, doesn’t mean it will be the same for you. =)</p>

better brush up on your French skills if you want to understand that lingo! hahaha j/k</p>
<p>yeah, when you join into the greek life you learn the terms. i never rushed but i know most of the frat terms and names because my buddies who rushed speak nothing but greek, grr. long as they get me into the parties its alll guuud ya! </p>
<p>here are some simple ones:
Legacy - meaning someone in your fambam who was in a frat/sorority<br>
Rush - when you are trying to join a frat, normally lasts a quarter. this period of time is when the frat tests you and stuff 
Bid - a frat that wants you to rush for them will give you a bid.
plus many other french, i mean greek terms. </p>
<p>rush delta pi e!!!
