We have had a few legacies go through and we have always tried to treat them the same as the rest of the PNM's b/c otherwise they tend to feel weird when they see that they are not treated the same. We do make an extra effort to impress them, and we keep close tabs on them so that they don't accidently slip by unnoticed. But we are careful with what we say b/c there is nothing worse than spending a whole rush party talking about the sister/mother/grandmother who made her a legacy and not get to know her at all for who she is.
We are obligated to invite them back for a second round (plus we can only drop them if their is a legitamate good reason) but you always want to make sure that it is right for both the chapter and the PMN. Our advisors remind US to keep an open mind on the whole situation b/c they might feel comfortable somewhere else and they should have a right to choose where they want to be regardless of if they are legacies or not. If they do pref us however they are almost 99% sure to end up getting a bid b/c we have to put them at the top of the bid list. And not that it can't happen but it is unlikely that they would be #1 on two houses bid lists. If it does I am sure her top choice would win.
Sorry if this is a little long but I hope it helps.
p.s. I a legacy does drop out of rush and we do love her and we have space she will be the first one to be offered a snap bid. This happened last year and she accepted!!!
