Our chapter members don't write recs. This is why its best for somebody who is interested to contact the Alum group closest to them if they don't know an alum.
I think they want to keep the members out of potential conflicts that may arise during rush--internally, with Panhellenic, and if a rushee does or does not get invited or if she pledges.
Besides the Alums won't get caught up in the emotion as much as actives who are in the pressure of the recruitment process. There is less liklihood that Alums will be tempted to run afoul of procedures...etc. etc.
