Number of recommendations?

I am Greek Chat search function disabled, so I apologize in advance for asking a question that I'm pretty sure we've talked about but I still don't feel like I really know the answer to.

Avoiding ritual membership selection information of course, can anyone with actual direct experience say for sure if some groups or chapters really want multiple recs and letters of support?

Are there campuses at which having only one strong recommendation filled out by a person who knows the PNM personally is actually a weakness?

If so, will you state the chapters or campuses so we could have a list?

Here's the thing, I think some PNMs and PNMs moms are erring on the side of way too much and too many, and I really wonder if anyone really wants this stuff. I have visions of membership chairs and advisors snowed under a blizzard of letters that basically duplicate information and for which they have no quantifiable use. The recruitments that we think of as being super competitive are also frequently some of the largest. Do they really need three letters on 1000+ girls?
