Yea, I wonder at getting 3 or 4, especially if they are not personal. Information only recs all say the same thing. It is different if the rec writer actually KNOWS the PNM.

God daughter had one for each sorority at S Carolina 3 years ago, two from her legacy group, three from my sorority ( yes, I wanted her to go KD!) and had a terrific recruitment. Most of her recs were from family friends or professional connections. We prepped her for clothing, what to expect and conversation tips. She felt confident, but knew it was not really a mutual selection-- that the sororities held most of the cards and she knew to expect some tears along the way.

I really feel for the PNMs who are headed to competitive recruitments and are the first in the family to go to college or explore greek life.
