I had a good friend from my hometown go through recruitment at Wake several years ago, and she kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, since I was already a member (at another school) she hoped I might be able to give her a few pointers. I may be slightly biased in this description, but she is very attractive, and incredibly smart. She had a lot of high school ec's, and a few ec's at Wake. However, she did not have any recommendations, as she had been told they were not necessary.
I won't go into great detail, but after the first round she was cut heavily and decided that greek life wasn't for her. I've heard that one or two chapters struggle to make quota because the PNM's do judge heavily based on "tiers" and perceived reputations. When PNM's only receive invites from the "less desirable" chapters they would rather just drop out than see them for the wonderful organizations that they are!
All in all, I don't think recs are absolutely necessary to recieve A bid, but it may not be THE bid your rec girl is hoping for. If she is willing to keep an open mind, she will more than likely find a home. I would say that recs certainly can't hurt.
