I agree. I think we may be overestimating the effect of being a legacy at other chapters because there's no way of really knowing why a girl was released and the increasing number of legacies might make bad outcomes seem more common.
But other than communicating that you would really understand the commitment of being greek, it's hard to see how it benefits the PNM at all to list it.
Perhaps we all should push to have panhellenic drop the question from their recruitment forms.
SWTXBelle, can you bring yourself to leave the information off your RIFs or recs when you know a girl is a legacy to another group? I have a hard time with this. It's one thing to encourage a girl to omit information that no group particularly needs, but knowingly withholding it from my own group is much harder. It's specifically requested by our form.
