I agree, for some schools recs are pretty useless. I know that at one of the chapters up here they don't know what to do with recs. However, I'm writing a rec for a local girl going to Kansas State next year. I think recs will definitely help her doing recruitment simply because when you have to cut 300 girls after the first round and you've only talked to them for 10 minutes, it'll be pretty easy to cut a girl from out of state rather than a girl who is from the hometown of a lot of girls in your sorority.
I think recs can be helpful at a lot of SEC schools for the same reason - it ensures that the girl will get another look by the chapter.
