I don't know what caused Gamma Phi to institute the policy they have, but it seems to me to be the one most respectful of a PNM's privacy, and it also takes a burden off of the chapter. I do think a chapter should write a note to ANYONE who writes a rec, especially a member who sends a legacy rec.

I agree about the follow up notes completely, and maybe they would accomplish all that the phone call could.
I tried to emphasize in my comments that what one chapter did would only affect my feelings about that chapter. I would still hold high regard for the organization itself, I think.
I admire your conviction that you could still serve the very chapter that had cut your legacy. I really don't think I could, but maybe I AM petty in this regard.
Cutting legacies represents what seems to me to be a potentially very hurtful act (really, it only matters if the girl wants the group), and I hope that all undergraduate chapters really think it through.
