My niece is going through recruitment at IU in the spring. She is under the impression recs aren't needed at IU. So I re-read last years IU recruitment thread, and several postings said the same.

Her step mom and I are both SEC graduates, as are most of the women in our family, and we find this odd. I'm inclined to send a rec anyway, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they are truly looked at. My niece grew up in Indiana, so she does know a few women in chapters at IU, and has a cousin in one. Thoughts anyone?

btw...I am fully aware of the bed quota, so no need to go there.

Thanks!!
