Why did she do that?

[angels&angles]

Was the colony perhaps not listed on the form PNMs filled out for recruitment? Or they got so few legacies listed for that group that they think maybe people didn't realize it was colonizing?

A lightly disguised effort to remind PNMs that there will be a colonization? (Seems a little roundabout to me, but you never know)

All these, I think.

I disagree. Many legacies will, I'm sure, but a lot will not know. Only a small number are probably aware that a colonization is happening. A lot proably don't even know what a colonization is.

This. Legacies whose mothers, grandmothers, sisters, et al are active with ABC would know ABC is colonizing. But, unfortunately, many people don't have anything to do with their GLO once they graduate, so they may not know about the colonization, and therefore can't give their daughter (or whoever) a heads up.

Your friend's daughter probably had to fill out a registration form asking if she were a legacy to any of the existing groups on campus - and then someone realized the form should have included the colonizing group as well - hence all the phone calls.
