I know that, at some schools, the pictures are not only used to weed out the "pretty girls" from the "ugly girls", but also to find out the race of a prospective rushee. This doesn't surprise me.
There are more potential abuses of the rec forms...sometimes, the houses look at the activities/professions of the parents to weed out the "wealthy girls". I'm not going to name the campuses at which this has happened, but it does happen.
