This is completely irrelevant I think, but if you're a PNM going through recruitment at a small non-competitive school find out if recs are something that happens there.
At my undergrad you'd be looked at like you were trying too hard if you have people sending in recs. My organization's legacy introduction form was the only form I saw as a collegian. This is particularly true of non-competitive, northern deferred recruitment, because if the school is small enough chances are sorority members already know a fair amount about you before you go through recruitment (including any salacious details, true or not, about who you slept with that's a member of what fraternity/campus organization).
I have heard of PNMs using recs as damage control, but as I never saw a rec as an active I don't know how true that is, and if it is true, how effective (although I would guess not very).
