Agreed! How about this for a more realistic example using those numbers?
1) 1500 PNM’s registered and attending Round 1. Panhellenic knows that based on their previous numbers, quota will be around 100.
2) ABC chapter has about 100 legacies
3) ABC is a pretty strong recruiting chapter & RFM says they can invite 600 to Round 2. Using the old legacy model, they have 100 legacy invites & 500 additional women at Round 2.
4) They cut some legacies (& are dropped by some of their legacies), so there are 65 legacies and 335 non-legacies at their Round 3 parties.
5) They cut some more legacies (& are dropped by some of their legacies) again so there are 200 invited to Preference with 40 of them legacies and 160 not.
6) Traditional model of legacies - everyone is on the bid list with legacies making up less than half of Bid List #1 and none at all on Bid List #2.
7) PNM’s rank their favorites and not all legacies rank their legacy house #1, so maybe your quota of 100 has 30 legacies matched and 70 non-legacies matched.
Obviously, the chapter could also make much larger cuts to their legacy list after Round 2 & Round 3 and end up with only a handful of legacies even attending Pref. Even in a weaker recruiting chapter that has to invite larger numbers back each round, they still can choose not to invite them to Pref or more likely their legacy would have released them already. How many times do we preach to our chapters that if you invite them to Pref, you must see them as a sister because they are going on your bid list.
So it is just hard for me to understand why we can’t have common courtesy of putting legacies on your 1st bid list. If the chapter doesn’t vibe with the girl, don’t have her at your Preference party at all.
