I suppose that with the new RFM (which I totally support..it's long overdue!) sorority legacies are going to have it a bit tougher time perhaps than non-legacies. The sororities have the uneviable task of trying to figure out amongst potentially hundreds of PNMs who is a good candidate for membership and is likely to accept their invitation...nearly impossible when you can't truly know the heart and mind of the PNM!
So let each PNM be her own person, and let each chapter stand on its own merit, here and now. And remember the quality of a sisterhood or membership experience is not solely defined by whether or not a chapter makes quota. Do the women truly care about each other? Are they having fun? Becoming better people because they joined and participate? Are they promoting the values of their org through their actions? That's the measure of a great chapter, and a quality membership experience.
We girls get too emotionally tied up with the whole legacy thing initially, but we get over it. There are six different NPCs represented at our family's dinner table at Christmas...a regular panhel meeting! Glad I have boys. My kids are both SAE and Sigma Chi legacies...Dad and grandpa don't care which frat they might choose...they want them to be good men.
