With respect to Sigma Chi Fraternity, a legacy is a son, brother or nephew. Other family relations often hold weight as well. Such as cousins, grandfathers, and brother-in-laws.

Since most chapters do not operate within a quota or total system - unless self imposed - extending a bid to a legacy does not *take away* a spot from any other gentleman and usually affords him (the legacy) consideration for membership by the chapter. Now having said that, the legacy in question must be worthy of the bid in and on his own right.
