Having a rec =/= any guarantee of an invitation to any successive rounds for NPC group, as far as I'm aware (assuming non-legacy), but it can't hurt, either.
My daughter did have a personal rec to the group she joined, at a school that's on the "up for debate" list in the "where you absolutely need recs" thread. She also had recs to 3 groups who cut her after the first round. In fact, two of the groups cut everyone on her hall, and the third invited 2 hallmates to second round, then cut them, too. So, I'd agree there's no guarantee, but I think they did help her get invited back to some of the other groups (one of which is a group that I think requires recs at the national level).
