I remember a chapter getting reamed out because they cut a double legacy. This was at a school which explicitly stated they did not use or accept rec forms. There was a box on the rush app to check if you were a legacy, but the rushee apparently had not. All of which leads me to believe the rushee really didn't want anything to do with rush but went through it to please mom and grandma and it was easier to blame not getting a bid on the chapter.
As we've said so many times on here before, GC posters are not necessarily representative of the general sorority population. Just because we all know about rec forms and legacy introductions does not mean the average alum does - unless she's in a multigenerational Greek family. This way if there's a "nudge" on the application asking this, the girls can ask their mothers or sisters.
It IS a really dumb reason to cut someone, but among the many dumb reasons to cut someone at huge schools, it honestly is one that makes a tad bit of sense. It certainly isn't any dumber than cutting sophomores.
