Don't go around telling every person in the fraternity your a legacy, its a little overkill. Just be smart about it, and use it sparingly and when the time comes. I'm sure you've read other posts about it, but being a legacy does make you entitled to shit. They don't have to pledge you, they sure as hell don't have to initiate you, they don't owe you a thing.

Right, in fact if you make the fact that you're a legacy a big point to everyone you may hurt your chances because it makes it seem like you think you're entitled to a bid.
At our chapter the only legacies who are pretty much assured a bid are younger siblings of active brothers or kids/grandkids of the really big donors who we can't piss off.
