Virtually EVERY university sorority or Panhellenic page says the very same thing. Understanding exactly what is being said is crucial.
CORRECT: a girl may participate in recruitment without letters of recommendation. If rushing is all you want, no problem. But the point of rush is to get a BID and join an organization, right? That is completely different from simply rushing.
That statement says nothing at all about whether or not recommendation letters are required to get a bid. This is a common misunderstanding. I think a lot of alumnae are extremely frustrated with this misleading language. We fight it every year, but universities continue to do it.

My school says that recommendations are strongly encouraged, so I thought there was a distinction there. They emphasize recommendations a lot, and their website didn't seem to. That was my confusion. Honest mistake, though. Definitely not trying to mislead anyone and sorry if it came across that way. Thankfully it has been clarified for OP.
