If they do receive it, they don’t read it. In other words, they are completely out of touch with current sorority policies, and assume that if their legacy shows up saying she is a legacy, that is enough. And from what I see, this is more often the norm than the exception.

Right.
Many GLOs took away legacy status privileges on the account that legacy PNMs were thought to have advantages that other PNMs from non-collegiate families or differing socioeconomic backgrounds didn't have.
Not showing up prepared, mom is uninformed or has outdated information, getting cut right away by non-legacy chapters who assume the PNM wants the legacy chapter, having a poor attitude....
So, based on your observations, maybe being a legacy isn't the big leg-up that many GLOs seem to think it is?
It sounds like a detriment.
