There are good and bad and sides to alums helping choose sisters. If you haven't been on the inside of a huge Southern rush, it's impossible to know the logistics and reasons.

Our school nor our national require alum presence. As a matter of fact it is in our rush rules that only a certain number of alum are allowed at any one rush party and they are not allowed to talk to the girls at all. All they can do is serve punch or clean up or help set up or run a projector or whatever, but they can not talk to the PNM's. We have to have one advisor there. That's it. We usually have tons more, but all that's required is one.
You're right about having had to be on the inside of a big southern rush to really understand, but I've talked to girls at convention and leadership conference, friends at other schools etc. etc. I've heard enough to know I wouldn't like it.
And I can't believe someone would submit a bad rec! I mean, talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
