Recs are a way for an alum (or current member if that sorority allows it) to in a sense "vouch" for the fact that a woman would make a good sister. It's ususally extremely helpful if the person writing it knows the PNM, and can give some insight to what that person is like outside of the formality of Rush. It's also a way that sorority members can "get to know" a PNM before she ever walks through the door. If they see on a Rec that Patty PNM is an avid golfer, they can match her with a Rusher who is also a golfer. It's also a way to introduce a legacy to a chapter.
