I have been searching some reccomendation threads and have not been able to find any of this info. Thanks in advance!!

1. Depends - if several alumnae know you well, having more than a couple of recs could be good. If they are "information only" recs., there is no sense in having more than one.

2. YES - many NPC groups have a "legacy introduction" form that does not replace a rec., but which does serve to notify the group that you are a legacy and specifically how you are a legacy. If you are a legacy of a living member and she does not send in a rec that could be a red flag.
