"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.
Ok- so you would not suggest sending in multiple recommendation forms to the same sorority? For one house on campus, I have 5 or 6 alumni that want to fill the forms out for me. Would this look foolish to submit all of them, or should I re contact them and ask if they would instead write me a letter of support, and only have my mother fill out the legacy introduction form & the recommendation form? Sorry for the question, everything is just so confusing and I don't want to do the wrong thing.
