I have to ask

We've discussed here on GC -- sororities potentially implementing a sort of tiered legacy system kind of like the ones that competitive universities use.

Ex: Bob the Princeton legacy whose dad is Super Donor and Member of Every Single Committee is given a sort of Super Legacy status over Billy whose dad's only Princeton-related activity is opening the Alumni magazine once a month.

Obviously I don't know to what degree other NPCs actually HAVE these policies, but I'm sure that an informal "tiering" of legacies happens all the time at the more competitive recruitment. For example, if you HAVE to leave room for non-legacy women, you need to make legacy cuts somehow. And when it comes down to Suzy whose mom hasn't lifted a finger for Chi since graduation and Samantha whose mom is a Life Member and past advisor, the choice is kind of obvious.

Also, I've seen it happen where the "higher" priority legacies are those whose relatives are from THAT chapter. So if there are 2 legacies and Suzy's mom is a Big Southern alumna and Samantha's is from West Vermont State, the higher level of consideration goes to Sammy.
