most panhellenics will say that the pnm does not have to provide the sorority with a recommendation; that it is up to the sorority to get a recommendation for any pnm they are interested in. that is not true. for the most part, if you are going thru recruitment in the south, you should work hard to secure letters of recommendation to each chapter on your campus. i have heard of instances where a girl really made an impression on a chapter and they did not have a rec on her, so the chapter got a local alum to write one for her. i would not depend on that though-so many chapters have to release a certain amount of girls after the first set of parties due to panhellenic requirements. with so many girls being legacies and so many arriving with a full set of recommendations, the ones without recs. might face getting cut(along with those who don't have the gpa)
i have not heard of a recruitment application that asked for letters of recommendation, but many do have a place on them where you are asked if you are a legacy to any sororities. sometimes this information is shared with each chapter(legacy information i mean) . they may be told the specific sorority she is a legacy to or they just may know that she is a legacy.
