So in the pre-recruitment craziness of GC (it's that time again!), I've noticed quite a few PNMs preparing for recruitment asking about recommendations (as always) and
how many they need. I've read these answers:
1. None, if the chapter requires it they are responsible for obtaining it.
2. As many as you can get.
3. One per chapter.
4. Depends on your school. (Big and Southern equals MORE MORE MORE... haha.

)
I know that some national organizations advise that multiple letters and recs are unnecessary, but I've noticed some PNMs are worried because so-and-so said that if they don't have 5 for each chapter they'll be cut. (To me that seems outrageous...) So I'm wondering (maybe this is a silly question), how many recs does a PNM really
need?
I know we're not the end all be all of recruitment advice (or maybe we are?

) but I feel like we're pointing these girls in a million different directions...
