But aren't there so many legacies going through recruitment at schools such as Auburn that it's kind of a wash? I mean, girls get cut for a variety of reasons, including simple math. Too many great potential members, not enough space.

It's very easy and understandable to blame cuts on legacy status, when it could be a variety of reasons, or none in particular.

I don't know whether it's best for PNMs to put it on their registration forms or not, but if I am writing a rec on a girl and know she is a legacy to another organization, I list it. I want my organization to have all available information, including the fact that the girl in question and her family have a familiarity with greek life and its obligations. If I know the girl personally and know that she is open to other organizations and not set on her legacy, I make a point of noting that as well.
