It's paperwork that bumps your visibility up over those who don't have it. And if the majority of PNM's coming through recruitment have recs, you should, too.
And if the majority of sororities require that their new member class have alumnae recs before they can be initiated, it only makes sense that the chapter is going to kill 2 birds with one stone and invite back girls with recs during recruitment so they don't have to do the work later.
Chapters want PNMs with stellar grades and activities. An overwhelming majority of PNMs possess such attributes. If they also have recs, that is one less chore the chapter has to complete.
ETA: I can understand coming from an area where recs are not very important and not knowing. However, with the amount of information available on the internet today, student orientations and campus visits, any PNM who is committed to becoming a sorority member should quickly get a sense of what needs to happen.
