@ bolded - it's a shame that chapters aren't trusted to make these decisions on their own. I'm not trying to say anything bad about ADPi specifically - because it likely happens in other orgs, too. But seriously, if it takes this many people (in addition to the chapter members) to cut undesireable legacies, something is wrong. If the chapter doesn't see a good fit with a legacy, then since they're the ones who will have to interact with said legacy, it makes sense to me that the chapter should get to decide whether to bid her.

I think it's awesome that there are 9- and 10-generation legacies (of any org) out there, though. I'm not trying to diminish legacy status by any means.
