All recs are equal, but some are more equal than others.

To some extent, it depends on the school. At my alma mater, for example, any rec would carry a lot of weight because we get so few (I don't think I ever saw one in my time as an active). At schools with highly competitive recruitments, I would suspect that having more recs, and having recs from people whose names are known to the chapter, would set a PNM apart. (By "people whose names are known" I mean national officers, big donors of time and/or money, famous alums, and alums from that particular chapter.)

Side comment: If a national officer of AEPhi writes a rec for a given PNM, we treat that PNM almost as a legacy. She will, for instance, be invited to the first invitation-only round.

Anyway, looks like you're in good shape rec-wise. Good luck!
