For us, a Legacy Introduction Form is different from a rec.

Someone brought up a good point about who is going to verify whether they are really a legacy if there is no formal way to notify the chapter. The Panhellenic forms I've seen always just asked for basic info, not names, contact info, etc. We aren't just going to take someone's word for it.

Last year, at my chapter of initiation, they obtained a new member who didn't know she was a legacy until she called her mom to tell her she had gone through recruitment and received a bid from Alpha Gamma Delta. Her mom attended Initiation and it was fun to talk to her because she had graduated right before I was initiated and we knew a lot of the same people. It was very fun. However, she had clearly never talked about sorority life to her daughter as her daughter didn't even know that her mom had been in a sorority.

I know that was a hijack, but it was a fun and cute story.
