Okay I caught AOIIalums question about recs...Again hopefully my position as a Greek Ambassador can help...
Recs are generally not that big of deal at Nebraska, it is definitly not required for you to get invited back to a house like it is in some places. However having recs will not in any way hurt you. But neither does it mean you are a shoe in. One of my best friends is in Tri-Delt, and she had four recs to AXO and obviously didn't end up there. In fact 2 of three houses she went to pref for were the only houses she
didn't have letters of reccomendation for...so go figure!!
Recs arent' taht big of deal, mainly because many of the small town girls can't get them in order to compete with those from Lincoln and Omaha.
So I would say that if you can get them to write recs for you, go for it, but if not don't worry about it.
As for getting invites back. Here's what I know from my friends. Some houses will actually invite all the girls going through back for the second day automatically, and then make drastic cuts before pref. Others will cut heavily on the first day, but if you get past that point you should have a pretty good shot at going to pref with that house. Finally, some cut gradually each day. Obviously you don't know which is which, but I guarantee that you will get invited back to houses every day! If you don't, well you can find me at the Beta house and ask for Geoff!
