My school was nothing like that so I get a little confused....I do understand the issue, I couldn't imagine having to rush that many women....it must be hard to have to remember all that info!

I definitely see your point, Lexi. Personally, I think it's wrong of the school to say that it's the chapter's responsibility to obtain recs --- as if the chapters have got the spare time to call up 1500 girls' teachers, church friends, etc. to find out if 1500 Jane Does are going to be good potential candidates for their organization.
We all know how hectic Rush is -- so why place more of a burden on the sororities than they already have? Know what I mean?
I think that information should be handed out with every Rush application stating that recs are important and that each individual rushee is responsible for acquiring them. However, I realize this isn't what happens on most campuses, hence the confusion and frustration among those rushees who don't have recs.
Quite frankly, I think the rules should be adjusted a bit to make the rec issue more clear to everyone, rushee and sorority sister alike. Until they are, those of us who are in sororities should stress the importance of recs to our friends who are planning to participate in the Rush process, so that they won't be the ones to fall through the cracks.
My answer isn't a great one, but it's the best that can be done right now with the way Rush rules currently stand.
