Three recommendations per chapter should be sufficient and i think that one really good recommendation and 1 or 2 letters of support are even better. Most often recommendation forms offer only small spaces for the recommender to expand on the pnms accomplishments and attributes and numerous recommendations for the same person will say the same thing(as long as the senders all see the pnm in the same light). While the recommendation form is the official form of the sorority, an accompanying letter of support can fill in the blanks and let the chapter truly see what contributions the pnm might be able to make to the chapter and provide the chapter with a more personal preview of the pnm they will meet during formal recruitment.

For those women who have offered to write a recommendation, but whose sorority will already be receiving the desired amount for your daughter, you might graciously tell them that she already has x number of recommendations to their sorority, however, she still needs recommendations to abc, def and gh sororities and they could help her out by passing on her information packet to any friends they have who are members of those sororities. Most sorority women are happy to help in this way.
