North of the Mason-Dixon line I think a legacy would have to be a pretty obvious non-fit with the sorority or fraternity to not be offered a bid. I'm talking about being blatently rude to picking his/her nose during the parties. I think it's very unlikely a legacy would be cut due to too many legacies/not enough spots at a Northen school.
Anyone agree or disagree? I could possibly be a little off the mark.

Here in the West I think this depends on the organization's legacy policy and the individual chapter. Most organizations do not require their chapters to pledge legacies and while it breaks my heart the 19 chapters I advise release legacies almost every year.
I have seen situations where forcing a chapter to pledge a legacy has worked (the women wind up accepting her, even though they really did not like her during recruitment), and situations where it has not (the women exclude her, make it "known" that she was only pledged b/c she is a legacy, and ostracize her).
