Yup thats right Valkyrie.

In places where sorority recs are mandatory and have to be pursued . . . and lets face it . . where arrangements can be made to get one from people that barely know you . . .

They become merely a Barrier to Entry. So the question is, why use a barrier to entry at all?

Is it to give advantage, as others have said, to members that come from large Greek areas?

Or is it just a way to winnow down some numbers? If so then it may eliminate some awesome girls from even being considered.

The question would be why use recs in this way?
