This. There's the form (info only) that the alumna fills out, and she can attach a letter of support. If a PNM knows 2 or more alumnae from a sorority, often, one will fill out the form and collect letters of support from the other alumna(e) of the sorority writing recs for a PNM so that all of the info (info sheet, letters of support, photos, transcript, social resume, etc.) are sent to the chapter as one packet instead of the chapter receiving an info sheet, letter of support, photos, transcript, social resume, etc. from each rec writer.
"Rec" and "recommendation" are the same thing, but the difference lies in the info sheet and the letter of support. Collectively, they are a rec/recommendation. I suppose an alumna could just fill out the sheet and not attach a letter of support and it would still be a rec/recommendation, just not a very good one.
