Why any separation of blood relative versus non (adopted) when it comes to legacies? I don't understand this. From a purely pragmatic perspective, aren't chapters made aware of legacies when they receive the info on a girls rush application, or when they receive a recommendation from an alum (could be her mom, I suppose). In either of those cases, where does the "she's adopted" part get announced? Nowhere, it seems (certainly not a box to check--nor should it be). So isn't it a moot point? Why have such a divisive policy (if it is in fact such--which I doubt) when there is nothing to be done to prove it and thus no means to enforce it?
I would love to see these "rules" spelled out....
