The word legacy fits all greek chapters, how you treat them is different. I know that your sorority (AXiD) has to offer bids to a legacy, and if not, you have to notify your Nationals as to why not (my wife is an AXiD).
As for fraternities, I'll speak for my own. We had a legacy or two come through my chapter, some made it, a few didn't. Why? Well, they weren't Beta material. We took the standpoint of "if you are not Beta material, you're not going in.....no matter if you are the Presidents brother".
Then again, we did have a couple of legacies who were brought in by their brothers/cousins, and they were attended to very much, because we knew that they would be great assets to our chapter, and probably had friends that would join along with them.
Every chapter does things differently, that is just a synopsis of how my chapter does things.
