Legacy: would you care if...

This question was posd strangely! I would have expected it to posed in a positive fashion. Why would someone NOT want their child to become a legacy? Of course, the decision belongs wholly to the child but my take is this: I understand the problem with legacies being one of "peer pressure" and lack of fit in some chapters but what about the meaning of why someone not only pledges but remains active and committed to your organzation? Fraternitie embody certain ideals and values and,as one grows as a human being, these things grow in importance. I have brothers in my graduate chapter who bring their sons to service events and other social functions. These boys see what the Fraternity is really all about. I've talked to some sons of Ques(Omegas) who didn't become members but still respect the Fratenity and hold it in great honour because of the example set before them. It's a way of life not just a fleeting two or three years of "partying and carousing" that makes this life so attractive, even with all te attendant problems faced. Is there a somewhat different perspective that NPHC and PIC/NPC groups have?
