I like the legacy considerations. In NO way is this a guarantee for a bid, but, I've seen too many legacies that were OUTSTANDING members - they seem to have more commitment in most instances than non-legacy members (especially if their relative was a very active member of his chapter - could me more pressure or expectations, not sure) - just an opinion from direct observations.
Also, what is more moving emotionally than to see a father, grandfather, or uncle, witnessing their legacy go through Ritual? I've seen grown men reduced to tears many times as they watch their son (I know I will become a complete basket case if either of my sons decide to join LXA!), grandson, or nephew learn all about the fraternity at initiation time.
In fact, I'll be seeing this personally TONIGHT at an initiation where we are having a legacy initiated, and his uncle will be in attendance.
