Has the tradition of Legacies outgrown its usefulness?

Sigma Kappa's RIF already has a section for that. It's true that nothing would really need to be said for alumnae whose legacies are rushing at the school where they volunteer, but it's important to note if the legacy is rushing elsewhere.

Ooh, I'm jealous. Did you feel like it helped you when you were an active in making legacy decisions or did people not use it?

We knew about legacies whose mothers/sisters/whatever were active anywhere around the country through two sources:
1. we had heard of the alum when she was listed on the form and/or
2. the alum herself or others who wrote the recs stated the alumna's involvement in DG

I would certainly recommend that anyone who is an involved alumna makes sure that comes across in the rec letters.
