But both of those attitudes are somewhat detrimental to the PNM.

As unlikely as it may sound, my campus had both of these mentalities. There is a difference between, "Patty PNM's grandmother was an XYZ and her sister is an ABC- let's rush her harder and get her!" and "Patty PNM is a tripple legacy to XYZ and has a sitting sister there". We did try to "steal" legacies to other houses.... but there comes a point where we would just assume that Patty is gonna be an XYZ. I hope that makes some kind of sense.
