Many chapters value "special relatives" very much; they just aren't guaranteed the benefits of being a legacy, whether that's a guafanteed spot on the first bid list or a courtesy call to the relative before the legacy is released. Our God-daughter pledged a house at UT last year where she was not a legacy, but where her three cousins had all pledged in recent years. The chapter recognized her special family connection even though she was not a technical legacy.
