I think it would be helpful to have a section that asks if it's a legacy do you want to be informed if they're released. Some people may want to know ahead of time, some may not. Personally, I'd rather know and be prepared to support someone than be totally shocked when they call to tell me and are possibly upset themselves.

I think a better thing to have would be a section on the website or in the magazine that says "Alpha Beta chapter has a shit ton of girls going through rush. If the chapter has to call every single person who wrote a rec they will have coronaries and also, won't have time to prepare for the next day's rush activities. Please take this into consideration."

Some people just don't understand the AMOUNT of girls going through. I know if you told most of my chapter sisters that there are schools where 1000-2000 women go through rush, they would be absolutely flabbergasted.
