I feel like we're all watching the alternative endings of "Clue". At any rate, if you want an example for the sake of discussion, let's have a fictitious run down of how it could go.
Quota is 100
Sororities will have 2 bid lists, of 50 pnms each.
Let us say 10 are legacies.
First bid list - 10 legacies, 40 non-legacies.
Of that first bid list, 5 put their legacy chapter as their first choice. They are matched.
5 on the second bid list then move to the first bid list.
The remaining 5 legacies will either match with their first choice, or go through RFM process until they match.
While it is possible they end up with a bid from the legacy chapter which they had not put first, it is not assured.
I realize there are a handful of chapters which could fill a pledge class with legacies. They are the exception, not the rule, and all that means is that the legacies will be scrutinized far more thoroughly earlier in the process in order to either fully commit to them, or to release them.
I feel there are better ways of addressing the need to make sure membership is open and accepting.
