- If a PNM is a legacy and her legacy alum (Grandma, Mom) has passed away, DO volunteer to send in the appropriate Legacy form for that PNM.

Excellent points, Zillini!
It's my understanding that Chi Omega currently considers legacies to be daughters or sisters of initiated members in good standing.
(In other words, the grandmother / granddaughter relationship is not a "legacy" relationship in Chi Omega -- at least not "officially.")
I fully agree with your suggestion, of course: alumnae should check the official legacy policies
of their organizations.
Edited to add:
From Chi Omega’s inter/national web site:

“Who is a Chi Omega legacy?
Chi Omega defines a legacy as a sister or a daughter of a Chi Omega in good standing. Granddaughters, cousins, and nieces of Chi Omegas have close ties but are not Chi Omega legacies. Someone whose sister and mother are both Chi Omegas may be referred to as a double legacy.”
