i'm afraid that we are not going to be able to say "at uga, for abc sorority a pnm will need 3 recs. because if they are just 3 rec. forms, all with identical information, then there might as well have been one.

one terrific rec./letter should be sufficient, providing the pnm meets the criteria the chapter is looking for in a new member. one or two more should not harm the pnm. at chapters i have advised,the chapter recruitment v.p. usually keeps multiple recs. clipped together, and they are kept thruout recruitment in a filefolder in alpha order.
I don't think I ever knew as a chapter member who had recs, but I may have been especially clueless. I'm often amazed at what I either never knew or don't remember.

FSUZeta, is your standard answer when a girl asks how many recs she needs that "you need at least one really excellent one from someone who knows you well and one or two more wouldn't hurt"? It sounds pretty good to me.

And as long as not too many PNM exceed that by a wide margin, it shouldn't ever a problem. I just see some potential problems emerging if the moms start taking things to extremes.
