Welcome to GC! Since I went to Ole Miss, I can't really answer your question with authority. However, it is my opinion that having a rec is a good idea. From reading threads on GC, I've learned that at a lot of colleges, having a rec will neither hurt nor help. Vandy may very well be one of those colleges, but it seems that the ones like that are not so much in the South.
When hundreds of women are trying to distinguish themselves and make themselves memorable, having a rec might just be the thing needed for a GLO to choose one PNM over another. A rec is a letter of introduction which can include insights into a PNM's personality that a short conversation may not reveal.
Good luck and keep us posted!
