This is totally true, although I haven't figured out exactly why. When I was a senior (I'm from North Florida, aka "Lower Alabama"), the ladies from our local Panhellenic came to talk to all interested senior girls about Panhel recs and Rush registration (I had a HUGE manila envelope full of stuff). I was slightly overprepared for Rush at my school (in New England), as I found out later on. My school doesn't even use the recommendations, if they receieve any at all. I'm glad I sent them in, however, because the sororities on campus knew about me before recruitment(our rush isn't until February).
