While I can see some value in NPC having a round table discussion about the issue at those campuses, I would see it mainly as a brainstorming type session. Unless they did toss around the idea of legacy additions, the rest of it is ultimately up to each GLO to deal with. Does every GLO change their whole legacy policy because of a few chapters?
I think maybe educating the membership that some campuses have more legacies than quota would ease the hurt feelings at least.

Dee, that's exactly what I'm asking. Maybe those chapters/campuses need to change their individual policies or at the very least say that legacy status is so common there that it alone won't help a girl get a bid.
These legacy policies weren't as much of a problem when a great many women going to college dropped out of school after 1-2 years to marry - their spots opened up and there were plenty of women to fill them. Nowadays that's very rare. We're in the 00s and using policies from the 50s.
And I agree with SoCalGirl, a "free legacy" policy would make the cutting of legacies from their non-legacy group even worse.
