From one DG to another, if you feel comfortable endorsing this girl for DG, then I think you should go ahead and write the rec form, but not divulge this to the PNM nor her mother. You don't need anyone's "permission" to write a sponsor form and the intention of sponsorship is to keep the Fraternity strong with good, capable, sustaining candidates for membership.

Another DG that I know (who is a former CDC) once said to me that in many ways, it's actually preferable that the PNM not be aware that you are writing a Rec for them, in the event that their Recruitment outcome is not what they wanted.
