Having a pledge class of 50% or more legacies can cause lack of diversity and not open membership up in new areas. I have not seen all the stats for these two chapters but I do know that they have had 40ish NMs in NM classes of 110 or so in the past. That's pretty legacy heavy.

Now
that I completely understand, and to me it seems obvious. But then, I also realize my experience is colored by my introduction at a small private proud-of-not-being-like-everyone-else school in the 70s. (I had dinner the other night with a few chapter sisters, and we could actually remember only
one legacy, ever, and a couple of others with DG ties but technically not legacies.)
