The last two posts bring up a sub topic which is becoming more and more important as each year passes.
I honestly think it's time to be very careful how we handle legacy issues. Sororities and fraternitis have been around long enough that legacies, especially on particular campuses are outnumbering the available spots. AND, let's face it, as mentioned in the previous posts, a good fit may not always be with a chapter where you are a legacy.
My son has legacy status with 3 really solid fraternities. His father's is an excellent fraternity represented on the campus he will be attending. I WILL NOT, I HAVE NOT fed him the idea that he will be a shoe in for ANY of these fraternities. What if he were to be cut? I really think we need to be careful when we discuss the topic of "legacy" with our children...but then, I really do try to head off any "avoidable" pain and sometimes I may be too cautious.
