For those of you ho write a lot of recs, how would you handle this? My inclination is to not lift a finger to help her, and to no rec her so my chapter doesn't waste an invite on her.
Wow!

This whole "everybody gets a rec" deal kind of bugs me to begin with so I am probably not the best to respond. I feel strongly that the process of recommending someone for membership is a privilege I have been given and not a mandate. That explanation may sound like i am splitting hairs but I do believe that not everyone gets a rec. I say, no.
