I understand that. When you've got like 800-900 girls, and most of them are either legacies or girls with 2-3 (or more) recs, or girls who have recs and connections to members via school or whatever and you HAVE to make a cut, the easiest way is probably to say "Who have we NEVER heard of before recruitment?"

Unfortunately, the girls who are total unknowns might be great girls, with good grades/involvement and the potential to be great sisters.

But they probably miss their chance because they (and you can correct me if I'm wrong here) were maybe from a small town and didn't have the connections for recs, or they (unfortunately) took Panhellenics word for it when they said "recs are not required and the sororities will find them for you."
