Yeah..I get that as Alpha Gam is voting on 4 changes to ours right now, but luckily, I don't see anything in our Constitution regarding recommendations. It may be in our Membership Handbook, but that doesn't require a vote to amend. So, easier process I guess for us to just eliminate the requirement, assuming a requirement exists. I'm fairly certain that not all of our chapters require them. I could be wrong. But, I never had a recommendation. They weren't a "thing" at my campus back in the late 80's. If they were, I was totally unaware of it. Of course, I was a charter member of my chapter, so maybe they were required, but not if you were part of the charter class.
