My daughter Miss Awesome is still a legacy of XYZ, right? I have been writing rec letters for all of her friends that asked because I told them I was an XYZ. How would NPC groups know where I pledged or for how long?

By checking in the records their HQ keeps. Even just flipping through the sections of the most recent printed copy of the XYZ alumnae directory ("maiden" name, married name if different, and list-by-chapter) would come close to verifying or falsifying a claim to be a member. If there's still a question, HQ can be contacted.

Those poor friends of a daughter: a "rec" from a non-member is worthless; why would someone DO that?

For collegians, because they are silly enough to think that they might actually still be members in some instance. Women need to be told that self-terminating or being terminated renders you an "un-person" in the eyes of the sorority. In other words...you never existed as an XYZ.

For 15+ years alumnae, honestly, I think a lot of times they just aren't sure what happened back in the day and not doing it maliciously.

In recent years, some recruitment applications have been asking for both the name and the membership number of any Greek relatives you have. I'm assuming that if they ask for this, they check up on it. There must've been a lot of fake legacies lately.

I also assume that there've been numerous fake rec writers because the rec forms from several sororities ask for more information on the rec writer than they used to.

Bringing this to the top again. Once again we are seeing some of the same questions. Sorry I forgot to bring it up at the beginning of recruitment season.
