I think that if you're a legacy, that is your legacy house's business and no one else's. And no one else needs to know how many recs you had to rival houses or if you're a multiple legacy at several houses.

That being said, a PNM can feel uncertain at recruitment. I would venture to say it helps boost her confidence to get recs to feel she did all she could to appear prepared, interested and serious about sorority membership--- regardless of how the chapters at her school may regard receipt of a rec. Even if a chapter who doesn't traditionally get recs were to receive a rec for a PNM, I would hope that they would say-- wow, this is a girl we should really look for at recruitment and get to know her-- and for the chapters who are accostumed to recs-- they should treat their legacies and recs with the respect accorded to the alums who endorsed those women-- from there on out, it is up to the chapter and the PNM to determine if there is a lifelong bond and match ahead.
