When we applied to privates we made a point of name dropping our alma maters and that we are fairly active. Not sure if it mattered (I know it didn't at one top school) but doesn't hurt.
IIRC, most private school applications ask where the parents went to college and graduate school, so no need to even name drop. They already know!
I don't think we were asked in our apps, though not 100% sure on that. I wonder if they have people who google stalk to find out!
They most definitely ask on the apps.

A number of them ask where you went to grade school too.

They always do well. Anecdotally, my friend’s kid who is in top 10% of their school and is unhooked is going to a WASP (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona) liberal arts school and was shut out of T20 schools.

Apparently one of the most competitive years because of the birth rate.
