I'm from a relatively big school, and I don't think recommendations are a life and death situation here. The rush application states that it is the sorority's responsibility to obtain a rec if one is needed (although I've never understood that), and I didn't have a problem getting invited back to houses without recs. BUT I was, in fact, cut from the sorority to which both my sisters belonged, and I heard later that that particular chapter will only accept legacies who have recs. True or not, I don't know...that particular sorority was low on my list anyway, so I didn't pursue the matter but maybe you should think about doing a little investigating to find out what each individual chapter wants. It couldn't hurt--and I would rather have a rec and not need one than need one and not have it.
