Is this "hook" worth mentioning and if so, how do we do it?

Since her ggg+ grandfather was one of the FOUNDING members and has a building with his name on it: do it. I should tell you though, unless she’s already a likely candidate, it won’t get her in. And as others have said, add it as part of her “Why XX essay”. Be sure to include it in the first “pass”, but, if she deffered or WL, don’t mention it when you update her info.

Actually, she might even want to tie in some aspect of him that she reveres that tells about her character. Like: let’s say the college is Oberlin and she can talk about how she admires that Oberlin was one of the first colleges to admit woman and she even formed a Woman’s XXX League at her school because woman’s equal rights was always important as a family.
