I'm curious, does your national organization have a legacy policy? If you don't know, you'll want to find out.
My organization has a set legacy policy - that doesn't mean that we have to pledge every legacy that knocks on our door - but legacies are very special to us and we try very hard to preserve that bond.
I'm with Carnation on the sympathy thing... I would be crushed if my son/daughter were not offered a bid from my husband's fraternity (if son) or Alpha Xi Delta (if daughter).
My advice:
#1 Find out your organization's legacy policy.
#2 Give the guy a chance - look for potential in him - it's likely that he'll turn out to be one of the most devoted members that you have... it's in his blood.
