Advice to rushers: re: legacies

[kddani]

What about the flip side of things?

You guys say there is damage being done because legacies aren't being given enough special consideration (though I personally think they're given a big dose of extra consideration solely on their birthright, and not by who they actually are and what their personal accomplisments are).

But what about the damage that is done when legacies are given too much consideration? How is greek life supposed to grow and expand to new groups of people? Doesn't having an extra in because of your birthright contribute to the elitist and snobby stereotypes that we are always fighting against?

If legacies were given even more consideration (no one seems to have a real suggestion as to what could be done differently), then greek life would stay largely within the same circles of people, becoming sort of incestuous (for lack of a better term to use).
