I have a question.....does a rec have to come from an alum of the chapter to which it is being submitted? Like could I send a rec for a girl rushing at LSU for instance?

On the old rush threads, this question was asked and the answer would seem to be- Anyone can write a rec. For a few of the sororities, they will have their alums write it IF you're rushee "blows them away". This would NOT be one of the stronger houses as anyone expecting a bid from the top half should be well aware of protocol at LSU. However, I'd have to say that the person writing the rec has some impact on the invite to the second round. Beyond that, I think it would depend on the pressure the alums can exert on a chapter. A girl from our area pledged what some have refered to as the top house at Bama.
HOW (grades-personality-involvement-natural assets all in the minus column-but a good dresser!) is beyond me. I do know WHO wrote her rec AND flew to her initiation. So, I can only wonder.
