Is it time to change who we think of as legacies?

I just thought of something that might work for schools that have a problem that have to cut legacies because there are more legacies going through then what they can take.

Just like many schools have a few "free" juniors/seniors that don't count towards quota, what about having a legacy system similar to this? Even if it was just 5, 6 girls thats still something....or is this just a horrible idea?

I had thought the same thing. However, there is the argument that this might allow the big chapters to become bigger etc.

Now if there was a way you could guarantee each chapter would receive the same number of "free legacies" it might work.

And for what it is worth, *in general*, IFCs tend to think of legacies as "free" since there aren't quotas or total.
