If we’re still specifically discussing DG there was plenty of input and discussion before this change was made, this change was the direct result of a large outcry of members asking for this change and many others last summer. The discussion around legacy’s was happening for years and it finally was pushed to its breaking point when a chapter wrote an incredibly well thought out proposal to council for the removal of the policy and they listened to member input and that proposal was backed and supported by dozens of other chapters. (It was Beta - Washington if I’m not mistaken)

Just because others chose to ignore the conversation doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening.

Not specific to DG at all. Several other groups have had issues with this being thrown at them.

The policy some have had of "leaving it up to the chapters" (who, incidentally, likely all conduct recruitment/membership selection differently depending on the size and scope of their recruitments) made the most sense to me.
