if you don't have a rec at the start, there's a higher probablity that you'll be cut after the open house round or the first invitational round; sororities that are required to cut large or enormous numbers of PNMs very often start cutting by grades and/or lack of recs (and/or, as always, "reputation").
So, frankly, many sororities may not really have the time to get to know and luuuuuuvvv someone without a rec -- she'll be cut early because they have to start cutting somewhere.

Yeah, pretty much. Although hopefully a pre-freshman girl doesn't have a "reputation" at the college already. If she does, it's probably a negative one.
