It really depends on the chapter and the campus. Some chapters may consider that being a legacy equals an automatic bid (especially if the person is a legacy via the chapter). Other chapters might not feel a legacy status matters that much.
But having said that, a chapter does not have a pledge quota or chapter total to worry about (unless it happens to be self imposed). As such, chapters are free to bid as many men as they see fit and generally like to pledge legacies. But again, if the man is worthy.
