Honestly, it's only sad because people assume that if you're a legacy you're in. If you have a legacy going through for these groups, alumnae need to know THEIR legacy policy and inform their legacy that being at pref isn't a sure thing for a bid. Chapters have a right to choose their own members. To those groups, they may feel they are giving the legacy every chance to shine before making their final decision.
Btw, I have a chapter sister that was a double legacy to one of these groups and did not receive a bid after listing them first on her bid card. She was a better fit in my chapter than in the other. She made a stellar AOII. I won't say she wasn't crushed, but she didn't know that she had a possibility of not getting a bid.
