I do not see what A has to do with B.

If she hadn't been leaving, I would have led the fight against her but that made it pointless. I was being facetious about not going after her due to her daughter's being a Pi Phi.

Also, a lot of parents and students feel that it cheapens all the work that the kids did to earn those cords and stoles if another kid fools around for 4 years and then ganks his sibling's regalia. I suppose you could say that it was a form of perping.

You could argue that, but I don't think it's true. Cheapening it would be granting everyone honors status no matter their GPA, some kid being a typical teenager doesn't hurt anything. Perping is different in that you're representing something more than status by those letters. It's annoying but I just don't see that it's worth complaining about, administration has enough to do on graduation day than to play regalia police.
