Times have changed a great deal since I was an active waaaay back in the day. There weren't nearly the sheer numbers of legacies at that time and we were always thrilled whenever a legacy went through rush. We pledged all of them as well as nieces and cousins who weren't true legacies but who had a family connection. Our Symphony, our Purposes, and many of our songs were already familiar to them. And our values had been inculcated in them from childhood. What a wonderful way to start sorority life!
Yes, it is very different now, sometimes with twice the number of legacies as there are places for them in a pledge class. But I can't imagine being anything but kind and appreciative of them as they are walking the same walk that we had walked long ago.
