I was Rush Chairman as a collegiate and I've been a Rush Advisor as well as the Rush Coordinator for a major City Panhellenic.
The actives look at anyone with 56 recs as suspicious and it stopped being a positive after the first 3 or 4. The most common remark seems to be "WHY does she need that many recs? Is she so weak that every single Alum in town is doing her Mom/Sister/Grandmother a favor and holding their noses the whole time?
The Rush Advisor has to be more diplomatic, but hey, she's sort of thinking along the same lines. One really good rec and up to five strong letters should suffice. After all, if the actives fall in love with the girl, they'll stop reading after the rec and just rush the PNM like there's no tomorrow!
