I've seen recs that said things like "wouldn't be a BAD choice..." or "not one to fight for, but a nice girl". So you are right that rushees who think that a rec means a good word for them are sometimes mistaken! Normally, when you see how the girls act in whichever groups those girls end up with (if any) you realize that the rec was right!
I am excited to be able to write recs, especially since I know lots of kids and will always be in contact with people who need recs. Unfortunately, the kids I know are not college age yet, still a few years to go, but once that first group of students hits college, it should be a pretty steady stream of them!
Moving up to New England, will people even ask for recs from me? I am thinking not. I won't be up there for very long though, so once I move back where it's warm and sunny I will get to write some recs.
