It is my understanding that it is virtually impossible to not initiate someone whom you've extended a bid to once they've accepted the bid. The pledge period is not the time to weed down the pledge class.
I think the rec system is a good thing. There are spaces on the rec for the writer to tell about the girl's character, her extra curricular activities and why she would (or WOULD NOT) be a good sister. It gives the sisters a headstart on evaluating the playing field of this year's prospects.
