It seems to me that one would want legacies because then more relatives could join, and would increase the chance of alum donations. I know if I had gone with my legacy, and didn't get a bid, especially if I had grades and what not, my grandmother would have been very unhappy.

The chapters DO want legacies, but particularly at Southern schools where the Greek system is so popular, there may be more legacies rushing than there are available spots. The legacy courtesy system began a long time ago, when there weren't as many people in general, let alone as many women, attending college.
Some groups have a policy of informing the legacy's family and some do not - it all depends on the sorority.
