I'm going to venture to say that it's not about GreekChat having some recommendation hangup.

It's just that, generally speaking, a rec is going to come from someone who actually knows you or can find someone who knows you. Sending stuff that can't be verified through a random website isn't how most of us like to find out whether people are worthy candidates for our organizations.

It's possible that someone will take pity on you and try to find an alumna to refer you to in your area by looking stuff up on the private side of our national website, but that's asking a whole lot of someone who doesn't know you at all, especially when it looks like a lot of PNMs aren't working really hard at this recommendation thing in real life.

I'm not accusing anyone who has posted here of not working hard on find her own recs, but I want to make clear that asking for help here should be an absolute last resort and even if you do ask, that people are often going to be reluctant to help you since you might be a 63 year old creepy guy who is just trying to chat up people on the internet.
