Well, I have a long-time friend whose daughter attended Wake. I believe she was there from 2005-2009. My friend is a Kappa Delta, but her lovely daughter never had an interest in Greek Life. However, my friend was visiting her daughter in her dorm one day -- and it just happened to be right before pref.
I remember her telling me that she had never seen anything like it. A large number of girls on her daughter's hall were sobbing due to disappointing results in their recruitment. She said everywhere you looked, it was heartbreak and that she and her daughter were going room-to-room consoling some of the PNMs. SO -- I do have it from an eyewitness that recruitment was quite rough, at least a few years ago. Judging from the recent letter sent to parents, it sounds like it still can be.
It sounds like your PNM was well prepared, though. I think that insisting she get recs was a wise move on your part and I'm glad she heeded it. Hopefully, she is also heeding your advice to keep an open mind. Wishing her all the best!
