Oh, this is easy for me. I have sent in soooo many positive recommendations. I have sent in 2 no-recs.
Several years ago, I traveled overseas with some Senior Girl Scouts. Two were super, one had me coming apart every 10 minutes and wanting to call the national office to scream at them for choosing her. Apparently, she looked good on paper.
We were in a very conservative country and she showed up with green hair in a freaky spiked haircut. Of course, she was literally stopping traffic everywhere. She kept trying to pick up French sailors. Then at the end of the campout--conservative country, remember--she made up a dirty song for the closing. And a few months later, she called to ask me for a Pi Phi rec!!!!!
The other one was a counselor at a camp where several of my older daughters and I worked. She had a violent temper and screamed at several campers and counselors. She slapped some counselors and later the assistant director. She gouged her with her fingernail when she did that.
So she asked for recs from us and told us that she was a legacy to one of my daughters' groups. We could not write our no-recs fast enough (only no- rec my daughter has ever written). Later, an alum from the legacy group called to thank my daughter and told her that she found out that the girl had a police record.
Now get this--a year later, another daughter went and visited that campus and we met a sorority member. She told us that an administrator had all but forced her group to pledge the girl, who had caused major drama and been kicked out within weeks.
And ladies, this is what you save your no-recs for!
