Situations I've seen in my years:

- PNM flat out lied
- PNM was mistaken, especially if it involved Grandma who had passed away.
- PNM didn't know she was a legacy until late in the game, again often a passed away Grandma.
- Non-Greek mother sent in the legacy intro info on behalf of Grandma who had passed away.
- The alum was too embarrassed to admit to her family that her membership was cancelled.
- An alum who voluntarily cancelled her membership (quit) didn't realize that meant her PNM was no longer considered a legacy.

So my answer is yes, always send a letter of rec or legacy intro. Then the Chapter needs to verify that it is in fact accurate. I also agree that questions will be asked if a Mom, Sister or Grandma doesn't bother writing an intro.
