Recs are really a function of the greek system that you are trying to join. It really depends on the school.
At some of the southern schools, recs are absolutely critical. The farther up north you go, the less important they seem to be, at least that's been my observation.
If nothing else though, submitting a rec shows the sorority that you're interested and conscientous enough to draw attention to yourself in a positive manner ahead of time. Recs help the women who are rushing from the other side know who you are when you come through, and gives them something concrete to show the other members who did not get to meet you.
So really, it depends on your school, but I don't think a positive rec would ever hurt you!
Good luck, and if you make the decision to rush Phi Sig (which I hope you do!!), keep us posted! (And maybe add your own thread to the "Rush" forum, as GC is full of rush addicts!!
