Or even an outstanding girl who they just don't know yet may not get the attention she might deserve.
And I'll be honest, not all our chapters are at the competitive level that Baci is rightly mentioning. (I think what she's saying is 100% correct for really strong chapters) There's another big group in the middle who will be a making decisions on a significant part of their pledge class based on girls they meet during recruitment or learn of solely because of recruitment because of recs. These chapters and girls need the recs, even at the info. only level, so they can spot some of the great girls who aren't already on the radar of the one's Baci is describing.
It's possible that these chapters are also going to be the ones without the super-effective alumnae committees because the there's probably a relationship between the overall strength of your chapter and your strength in recruitment and alumnae support. Super chapters have it all. Medium chapters have it some. Struggling chapters may struggle.
I'd like to think that at the alumnae level, all chapters would get the same assistance, but I'm not sure they do because I think most of us are most emotionally invested with our own chapters of initiation, even 20 years later.
