It doesn't seem as if this "academic" (but not really) recommendation is intended to make any mention of a PNM's fitness for Greek life at Bama. It is depicted as "generic."
IMO, something that diminishes the power (assuming it had any) of such a recommendation is that it is in the hands of the PNM to upload. Surely no school official would write a less-than-glowing recommendation for a student that the student will see (like with recs to some post-graduate professional programs -- when applicants waive their right to read their recommendations, these recs are considered more favorably).
I don't know who proposed this idea, or what (if any) administrative influence was potentially in play.
