I'm with NYCMS on this issue, Panhellenic sisters. shadocat, I would have to see data/statistics/numbers to support your hypothesis/opinion. Seems to me that alumnae from all over the US are upset when their legacy is released. This definitely interests me, however I doubt we'll ever get any quantifiable information to investigate. Too bad. Decisions that are made based on emotion often lead to undesirable outcomes, which is my take on the legacy response by some NPC member organizations.
Many years ago I stated that (a) I have no legacies other than my sister and yes, she is a Theta; but we think she'd have been happier as a DG. She succumbed to my mother's pressure, not mine, as I was encouraging her to give very serious consideration to DG at the time, even though technically I wasn't supposed to talk to her because I knew that chapter & its members & knew they were a much better fit for her than my chapter & she really really loved them sigh (TMI?oh well) (b) I have said that I think that legacy status is not something that should be given extra weight in recruitment. (c) I was not a legacy.
The pendulum is swinging, and I'm watching this with interest. Somehow it feels like this response (eliminating legacy status) is an amputation when perhaps a judicious pruning would have been a better move. *shrug*
