Yes!
I can understand telling a PNM she needs to get the recs on her own - that would show that a) she has the gumption to do it b) she has a pleasing enough personality to ask and not get turned down c) if she doesn't know any sorority members, she has the brains to find the nearest alum Panhel and get recs that way. I can understand asking a PNM to do that and cutting her if she does not, the same as she is required to have a certain GPA or she automatically gets cut.
But having to dig up (not literally) an alum to put her stamp of approval on a girl you have already decided to bid? WTH is the point? Are there actually alums out there who would be spiteful enough to say "I'm sorry, but Jenny is the sister of the roomate of the girl who took away my 8th grade boyfriend, and I don't care if you all love her, no way is she going to be an XYZ!"
