as for no recs, I think recs are helpful. They are not make or break for us though. We don't have our pledge class 100% selected before recruitment even starts. The best "recs" we get are the No-recs. The danger ahead recs.
YES. My oldest daughter and I no-recced a girl whom we had seen attack the assistant director at Scout camp. (She was a counselor.)One day, the phone rang and it was the head of AOII's alum rec committee in that town--she couldn't reach my daughter about the no-rec and wanted to ask me to thank her. The committee had done some searching and found out that this girl had a record for assault in a few places.

By the way, here was the outcome. The girl didn't get a bid from anyone and the college president harassed the one sorority with slots available to take her. They finally did. A member of that chapter told me that the girl was kicked out in a few weeks for assaulting a sister.
