I can only imagine how upset your whole group was. I had the same kind of support when my daughter went through. A group of us had been getting together once a year since graduation, traveling all across the country to get to each other, and they were so excited to have one of our group going through rush. And, yes, they rolled out the recs! I am so sorry that it didn't turn out as you hoped, and yet, it has still been positive. Hats off to you for your ability to handle the situation gracefully.
Also, sidenote, I cannot speak for other groups, but there is no provision within KKG to notify alums when a legacy is cut. Maybe that is the case with your group?
