Personally, I'm glad that the chapter I was a legacy to did not offer me a bid. They invited me back several times even though it was obvious from the get-go that it wasn't the best house for me, and since I was a little afraid to cut them because I didn't want to hurt my sisters' feelings, I kept going back thinking maybe I'd like it better once I got to know the members a little more. They were nice girls and a "top" chapter on campus, don't get me wrong, it just definitely was not my first choice. I was soooo relieved when they finally released me right before Pref! It would've really sucked if the other chapters had just assumed that since I was a legacy I would pledge there, because DZ was a much better match for me. So while I think it's fine for legacies to get a "courtesy invite" after first round, that should be it--if, after that point, the chapter doesn't think she'd fit in, she should be released so that there's room in her schedule for houses that are better for her.
