A Hypothetical Question About Legacies, sort of

[Benzgirl]

I don't recall that any papers validating a pedigree are required. We are not dogs.

When a legacy goes through recruitment, the letter of introduction is validated, but we don't ask for a proof of title. These days, with last names being divorces, hypenated, of the father's, of the mother's or a combo of the two...who would know?

As for the question on religion...unless you are in an ultra-conservative environment...I don't think it's an issue any more.

What she said.

Additionally, I've heard of several organizations take the 'step' label out of their legacy policies. In a society where many people are divorced/have remarried, it makes sense. Biological, adopted, or stepchild...it's really up to the member if he/she wants to introduce the child to the organization as his/her legacy.
