I would say no, you shouldn't feel obligated to take a legacy. BUT, I also have heard how mothers and grandmothers can be and how HQs are going to cave to alumna who give support and money.

Personally, I think it's sad that some alumnae don't have enough faith in the collegians to pick the best girls for themselves. If they didn't pick her, well she must not be as ABC material as mom thinks.

If I had a legacy I probably would be upset if Gamma Phi cut her, but I hope I would be rational enough to realize that there were reasons.
