For a lot of sorority chapters (particularly in the south), even if there WEREN'T quotas and totals, the amount of legacies would be as many women as there are already active in the sorority...times 5. It just isn't feasible to bid every legacy from a mathematical standpoint.
And even at a smaller school/system, even if the chapter is waaaaay under total...if the legacy just blatantly doesn't fit...the sorority will give her every chance, but in the end, why bid someone who no one in the sorority likes (and who more than likely doesn't like anyone in the sorority) just because her mom was a member 25 years ago? It's stupid. Better to practice true Greek unity and Panhellenic spirit and encourage the young woman to look at ALL the chapters and find what is right for HER - not force her into what was right for her mom a generation ago.
