Has the tradition of Legacies outgrown its usefulness?

[LAblondeGPhi]

Question: how many organizations consider you a legacy if your great-great grandmother was a member? That's where I see the big problems coming in (IMO). As the years go by, you'll increasingly get descendants of members of the organization who have no real connection to the organization any more. If legacy-making sticks to mothers, sisters, and grandmothers, then at least you have some containment.
