at our school there are several national groups that started out as local and community organizations before the university had ANY greek organizations on campus. Legacies to these now NPC groups do track their "lineage" all the way back to these local groups--so much so that there are 5th and 6th generations of girls rushing their particular group.
This does create the problem of having too many legacies for each chapter to take and as a result some do go to other chapters. It can also be a problem for newer chapters on campus that may not have the sheer number of legacies rushing, and so they may have low numbers because chapters with a high number of legacies tend to keep them around as long as possible during recruitment in order to make sure they will make quota. However, this problem will (hopefully) start to be remedied this year when the university changes to the new system of release figures to allow for more equal figures for every group.
