They aren't like a blackball. (At least, not in my understanding of what "blackball" has traditionally meant in the Greek system.)
However, the chapter would certainly take it into strong consideration. (Different groups may have different ways of handling them, subject to their membership selection processes.) Unless there were some very valid reason to discount the opinion of the alumnae who wrote the no-rec, I'd say that in a competitive rush a no-rec would certainly hurt a girl's chances.
After all, in a very competitive rush where you're looking to pare down your list any way you can, something like a no-rec or a bad GPA is going to make deciding between 2 otherwise similar PNMs a little easier.
