I lurk on here every once in awhile, but I've never really been compelled to post until now. I'm a Mizzou collegian (I'll keep myself disaffiliated for now, since I'm be telling you about recruitment) and I've been through rush on both sides now. RECS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for all but 2 or 3 of the chapters. I would focus on getting at least one per chapter, though more couldn't hurt. We have a lot of girls come through with just 1 or 2, and some with 6-7. Really though, as long as your niece goes in with an open mind, she should have a thoroughly enjoyable experience- I met some of my best friends during recruitment at Mizzou. And usually when people say "go in with an open mind and everything will be great," I usually think "what a crock of cat poop," but Mizzou has a fairly unique recruitment in that we have the size and numbers of an SEC rush but are quickly moving toward the no-frills rrecruitment.
Speaking of size and numbers, we ARE open for expansion, and they have determined which orgs will present- I'll post it later when I find that email. I know Sigma is one of them, and I'm personally pulling for them, given their alumnae support base in Missouri.
Mizzou rush can be a little overwhelming, just like any recruitment! Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
