It had absolutely nothing to do with BLM. National sororities had been looking at their legacy policies for for some years now. The main reason being that the sheer numbers of legacies coming through these days, especially at some of the larger and tradition-heavy schools, were making it harder and harder for chapters to be self-determining in their membership selection. With required release numbers for each chapter each round, the automatic legacy invitation to first invited round was eliminating a corresponding number of other pnm's from consideration too early in the process for the chapters to even have a chance with. And the requirement for any legacy at pref to get placement at the top of the bid list was contrary to giving the chapters control over their own bids. The other major policy change was to eliminate required recommendations, because they had not only become an enormous burden to the chapters but also virtually impersonal and meaningless. Making membership more accessible to pnm's is a side effect that is much touted by the national offices, but it primarily benefits the chapters. Connections, who you know or who knows you, are always going to matter most.
