That may be true, but unless you (general you) are at all the other GLOs' membership selection vote, you won't know why or how *they* voted.

Perhaps it is a Southern fraternity thing, but knowing that a rushee is a legacy ("His Daddy is a Bama XYZ while his Momma is an Ole Miss ABC") may carry some weight in membership selection. Whether it is right or wrong, some members may feel that the legacy rushee should understand the responsibilities of what it means to be Greek better - i.e. good grades, financial and time obligations etc. Thus while not being a legacy to the particular fraternity, his legacy status may have a positive influence.

For what it is worth, I have heard of NPC sorority members saying that they love getting other sororities' legacies. Some have said they like legacies in general for the reasons similar to what I wrote above - i.e. "what it means to be Greek". While others have given silly reasons like "We love to steal other chapters' legacies."

And this!

Again, the bottom line is just because 30.81 % of the legacies were extended a bid to their legacy chapter, does not mean that the other legacies did not have some sort of advantage over those PNMs who were not legacies. Unless you are at every chapter's membership selection vote, you won't know.
