I am an active in a fraternity at TCU and on the rush team. Generally, recommendations are not needed and are rarely used. That being said, I have seen a few each year. It definitely won't hurt your chances, but best case scenario it will you get a call from a rush captain/chair to attend a rush event. Getting a bid will largely depend on how you present yourself when you go to rush events. Hang out as many times with as many fraternities as possible. That will give you the best idea of where you fit in. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me, and I'll be glad to help.
