Theoretically, everyone's works that way (to my knowledge). Ours technically does. But legacies don't mean much when you're not from our chapter. We're not getting any alumni funding from your dad most likely. Funding is one of the main reasons we even consider legacies whatsoever.

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
