value of legacies

What houses value legacies, what houses don't? And are there any houses that like to steal legacies away? Just curious!

All houses give a good look at legacies but if they aren't a good fit they get cut after 1st or 2nd round. You could fill a whole pledge class with legacies!

If you wouldn't be selected for a house anyway, being a legacy won't help. But if you are asked back on the last day, being a legacy might put you closer to the top of the pref list. Or it might keep you off the list entirely. No one who is a legacy should expected any better treatment at that house. It's just one of many factors and at some houses it doesn't count for much.

The smaller a house is nationally, the more valuable their legacies are. So being a Delta or ADPi legacy isn't as valuable as being like, a Sigma legacy. The smaller national houses don't have as many legacies as larger national houses, meaning they try harder to keep them.

I know in Sigma, all legacies are auto-bids because they are so small nationally. Sigma Kappa is pretty small nationally too, legacies are a big deal. Pi Phi and ADPi legacies don't mean much because if they only took legacies, it would be their entire PC. You know?
