I really do have rush amnesia in a lot of ways, but I don't remember even being aware of the recs/rifs that a pnm I rushed had. I might just be me or this size rush that we had.
I'd be very wary of giving too much direction here. Current members of the chapters on her campus are really the only folks who are going to know the answer to the how-many-recs-is-the-right-number question, as far as I know.

Generally my experience has been that cuts based on recs (what they said, lack of them, etc.) were not something that was discussed with the membership as a whole. Suzy Q Rusher might really like Polly PNM, but if Polly doesn't have any recs Suzy Q isn't going to be able to keep her from getting cut if they chapter requires a rec to get through the round (that is, at a big SEC school like Arkansas). I'm betting it was the same way with your chapter, alphagamuga... because how on earth could every chapter member read every rec at a school like ours?
Again, to the OP: I know someone who graduated from a strong chapter at Arkansas only two years ago. She says five is way overboard. I highly doubt that it has changed a lot since 2005. I don't believe any of us have asked yet, but was the person who told you that each chapter required five recs a student at Arkansas?
