I have heard that some chapters at Ole Miss require more than one rec, simply because it is so common to have one rec for each house. But your friend is right... more than 3 recs (unless your sister is a legacy) is just going to weigh down the chapter, since they can probably get the info they need from 2-3 good recs.

The advice I have always given for competitive southern recruitments is to have one rec from a younger, recent graduate (of that chapter, if possible) and one rec from an older, experienced rec-writer. This way, the recs won't seem like carbon copies of one another, because chances are the two styles of rec-writing will differ.
