Considering some discussion on another thread – I was wondering – why are recommendations absolutely necessary at some schools, while not expected at others (acknowledging that member selection policies vary among chapters)?

I have been, in general, responding to this question by the OP. I have personal knowledge and experience with the types of recruitment where recs are absolutely necessary and was trying to explain (rationalize?) why recs are such an integral part of these recruitments.
I am often frustrated when I feel others are implying that recs are such alien and offensive parts of rush that their chapter practically freaks out when they get one, and therefore, the chapters that use them are not really doing a good job of recruiting by relying on them for part of the recruitment process.
Maybe I was over-thinking some of the comments...my apologies if that was not the case.
