I'm just wondering in the event that a legacy was invited to join a sorority what kind of proof would they have to give that they were related to the alumni? I hope you don't mind if I hang around if I have some questions. I'd be happy to put anyones name in my acknowledgment pages! Thanks again!

You could just make it up. It is fiction!

To the OP... have you ever written anything before? I ask simply because, based on my own experiences, it's much easier to write about something you know (or, like JKR, something you can make up entirely). Since sorority life already exists, you can't make up what it's like to be in the Greek world. So, for your story to have credibility with Greeks, it should correlate with what Greek life is actually like. If your target audience isn't Greek, then the readers would not likely know whether your legacy info is correct - they'll just take it on face value that you know what you're talking about.
