But shouldn't the social and financial obligations of GLO membership be made clear to ALL PNMs -- I don't think it's safe for anyone to assume that because someone is a legacy, she knows much about sorority membership and responsibilities. That information should be available to everyone going through recruitment, right?

I agree with irishpipes -- if you're a legacy, it's really nobody's business but you and the organization of which you are a legacy. Period. I think it is beyond ridiculous for women to be cut because they are legacies. It's kind of a wacky assumption to think that because someone's mom was an XYZ at the University of Outer Mongolia in the 1970s that Susie Rushee will want to go XYZ at Big 10 U in 2005.
