Some thoughts:

To be fair, these are 19-21 year old women you're talking about. On some level, you can't expect them to make decisions just as say, a 40 year old alumna would. Don't assume (and I'm not saying you are, just putting this out there) that there is some "war on legacies" going on. It's just that at many schools there are TOO many to give them the careful consideration they should be getting.

Also, with the RFM placing more women and chapter sizes going up everywhere, there are going to be tons more legacies coming along (as my generation starts to have children.)

Another note:

I think it's all about EDUCATION on both sides. Collegians need to be eucated on the importance of considering legacies in whatever way your selection policy dictates.

On the same token, alumnae need to be educated on the policies and be prepared for the fact that legacy in this day an age doesn't = automatic bid.
