About recs, I am (unfortunately in this case) at a southern school but it is not big nor is it part of the SEC. According to our VP of recruitment usually only about 10 non-freshman go through recruitment in the fall and we have 6 sororities. Since we have a seperate quota and since there are so few upperclassmen rushing, wouldn't it be less competitive and therefore make recs less important? Tell me if I'm wrong...
