I don't see how a sorority could be forced to take legacies since at so many schools, there are chapters who have more legacies going through recruitment than spaces available. Also, sometimes it can be a disaster...the PNM is the kind who is going to wreck a chapter's rep or whatever.
When I was a new alum, the very strong chapter at the university where I was in grad school cut the alum club president's daughter. I got the idea I was supposed to be siding with the alums but I had to go with the actives on this one...they KNEW what the girl was like. Sure enough, the sorority that got her hated her almost instantaneously, as she had a gift for sowing discord and wrecking meetings. Thank God that no one forced our chapter to take her.
