Let's say that Pam PNM is a direct legacy to Alpha Chapter. She has perfect grades, perfect activities, everything you could ask for in a PNM. Alpha Chapter strings her along to one of the last parties, then after a tirade by an active sister, cuts her. Every other GLO has released Pam for being such a sure-fire legacy, so she is now completely out of choices.
Do you think her mother/grandmother/greatgrandmother deserves a call?
What if a sister breaks ranks and tells Pam why she was cut?
Do you think Pam's adult enough emotionally to handle this by talking to the stranger assigned to her as a rush counselor?

I think Alpha Chapter might get some interesting feedback from the GLO after recruitment.
I think her family member deserves a call. I don't know that it really does anyone any good for Pam to know why she was cut, and I think the member should be reprimanded for violating the secrecy of MS if she actually told Pam (as opposed to telling the mom if the policy allows it). And although I think Pan is probably adult enough to handle talking to her rush counselor, she probably will really want to talk to her mom more. And under the circumstances, I think that's okay.
