What could a house possibly learn about me from reading a rec written by some random alum that I met with for 30 minutes in a Starbucks that they can't learn just by talking and getting to know me? Ugh, it's extremely frustrating.

For some sororities, that is their
policy - either nationally or by chapter. That's just how it is. The active members may think it's a load of BS too, but they have to do it.
If you truly are of the mind that "if I get in fine, if I don't fine too" then that's wonderful, but we've had too many PNMs on here that asked what to do to benefit them during rush (like not suiciding, giving all the groups a fair chance) and then didn't follow the advice they were given and were bitterly disappointed.
