DGDramaDawg,
You are certainly right that some high schools are that way, in terms of almost a built in rec. system. My school doesn't seem to have that culture, and I think my reaction had to do with maybe misunderstanding what was expressed. I took the comment to mean that UGA sent recruitment info. to the in state girls, rather than high schools girls just getting advice and information. To be honest, I think the in-state value in terms of information is in the alumnae system, whether it's in the high school or not.
I can sometimes point people toward a few alumnae from other groups, and in the last year or so, I've come to fully appreciate what our local alumnae panhellenic does.
(They'll get a girl a rec for every house* on the campus where she is going, in-state, out-of-state, whatever AND they work really hard to find alumnae who personally know the girl, so it's not just info only. It's pretty amazing.)
*The local alumna panhellenic president even tries to find people from groups without current AP members. She's pretty spectacular and I don't know that all Alumnae Panhellenics do as much, but they do have them out of state.
