PANHELLENIC put this "disclaimer" in the registration materials.

"DISCLAIMER: The University of *State* Panhellenic Executive Board does not encourage the use of letters of recommendation or legacy status. We believe that the use of these resources creates an expectation that a PNM is guaranteed certain privileges during the recruitment process, when that is not true. Additionally, the use of these resources creates an added barrier to certain PNMs. The Panhellenic Executive Board acknowledges and does not condone the historic practices that have excluded women of color, those with physical limitations, those with different preferred pronouns, women of a lower socioeconomic status, etc. The use of resources such as legacy status or letters of recommendation perpetuates these exclusive practices, as they give preferential treatment in the recruitment process. The Panhellenic Executive Board strives to achieve a fully equitable Recruitment Process by not encouraging the use of these resources. The University of *State* Panhellenic Association practices a values-based recruitment process, which prioritizes getting to know PNMs personally, and not relying on information from outside sources that would be submitted through letters of recommendation.
If you are still interested in submitting a letter of recommendation or your legacy status, please see the following links....."

I mean.....how dare they dictate what every group does?

Well, see, the girls think that they can decree it, and are not corrected of their delusions by the Greek life advisor (who undoubtedly doesn't know a CPC can not dictate a sorority's membership criteria), and the PNMs and their parents have no clue about any of this, so they believe it.
This ranks right up there with the perpetual myth that if you SIP the computer spits out your bid card and you don't get a bid.
