Well, because they're bound to NPC, and to say what NPC says to say, I'm glad at least the Alumnae Panhellenics and places like GC are around to tell PNMs the truth, that recs are necessary at a lot of these schools.
Unfortunately, PNMs that are not "in-the-know" and don't stumble upon GC are left out of the loop, and their recruitument possibilities are cut because they just don't know.
My rule of thumb is that if the school's greek life or recruitment page mentions recs at all, they're probably pretty common on that campus and a PNM should try to secure them herself, even if they say it's the responsibility of the chapters to get them. This isn't true all the time (some school websites where we KNOW they need them don't mention them at all), but it works in a lot of cases.
I've never seen a non-competitive school mention recs in any way, shape, or form. This was how I ended up being a recruitment counselor for 2 years and didn't know anything about recs, even though I was on GC I wasn't too active a poster until after I finished grad school.
