Mom, nanna, whoever is either involved or not, whether than involvement is with the chapter, alumnae group, financial, a combination of those or whatever. (Laura Legacy's mom hasn't paid dues since 1972 versus Lana Legacy's mom who served as president of her local ac for 10 years, still helps with recruitment at her local chapter and donated to the fund to rennovate that house.) I think if things continue to go on the same trajectory, eventually groups are going to have to come up with their own standardized objective way of evaluating a legacy's "value."

And, I think it's important to note that this is only an issue a small number of chapters. The number of schools across the country who have this as a problem is really quite small. However, it is a very big issue at the schools that do have this problem.
