I'm guessing you have been reading some of the sorority recruitment threads where it is often recommended to have a letter of recommendation. Bottom line is that fraterntiy (IFC/NIC) rush is different than sorority (NPC) recruitment and as such, letters of recommendations are not needed for fraternity rush.
Now having said that, if a member knows the rushee and/or his family well, he might send a letter (or a note, email, phone call) to the chapter and give a heads up about the rushee. The type of letter depends on how well the member knows the rushee. As such, it might be a straight on recommendation or more likely it would simply serve as a letter of introduction. Again, kind of a "heads up" or "take a look at this guy" as it were.
