Here is how the rec system has helped many chapters--
Not by saying, "Miss Elizabeth Snootley has made her debut and will make you proud by marrying a fine and rich man right out of college." If a chapter is that kind of chapter, they know about that girl anyway.
It helps to introduce us to people who are not on the radar. Teachers, for instance, have alerted us to some fabulous PNMs who were, say, from small high schools or from out of state.
It also alerts us to people who could get our chapters in big trouble...girls who might make a racist video or go off and privately haze some pledges (that actually happens, no idea why). Or otherwise make us bad, usually with social media.
Actually, many NPC groups quietly dropped the rec requirement several years ago, and not due to anyone's "demands".
